Ousmane Dembele Reportedly Agrees to 5-Year Barcelona Deal Amid Transfer Rumours

Barcelona have reportedly agreed terms with Ousmane Dembele's agent for the Borussia Dortmund star to move to the Camp Nou on a five-year deal, but there has yet to be an agreement between the clubs.

According to France Football (via Toni Frieros of Sport), Barca will not meet BVB's demands for €80 million (£70.5 million) but are prepared to shell out €50 million (£44.1 million) plus €20 million (£17.6 million) more in "variables." Meanwhile, Bild reported the length of the proposed deal, as noted by Frieros.

Barca have had their eye on Dembele for a long time, according to the Sport report, but he opted to join Dortmund from Stade Rennais last summer because he was assured of regular game time, something the Blaugrana could not offer.

However, the Catalan giants have clearly not lost interest in the 20-year-old, who returned six goals and 12 assists in his debut Bundesliga season, playing in numerous attacking roles, per WhoScored.com.

France international Dembele is versatile, dynamic and skilful, and he's remarkably effective with both feet, per Squawka:

He would be an ideal addition to the Barca squad to complement and cover for their leading attacking trio of Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.

Dortmund are in a strong negotiating position over Dembele as he is contracted to the club until 2021. They may well be tempted by Barca's offer, though.

While the Catalans are reportedly not prepared to meet BVB's demands, they are willing to pay big to get Dembele.

And Dortmund could benefit from a windfall of up to €70 million (£61.7 million), especially as they reportedly paid just €15 million (then worth £11.5 million) to sign Dembele in May 2016.
