Barcelona announce that they have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund for winger Ousmane Dembele.

Barcelona have announced that they have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Ousmane Dembele.

Since it first emerged that Neymar would be joining Paris Saint-Germain for a world record transfer fee, Barcelona have been heavily linked with the 20-year-old after he impressed in his first year in the Bundesliga.

It has taken some time for Barca to strike a deal with Dortmund but on Friday afternoon, the Catalan giants finally announced that they had agreed to sign the French international for a fee of €105m (£96.8m) plus add-ons.

Dembele will sign a five-year deal at Camp Nou should he pass a medical on Monday morning, and the player will become Barcelona's most expensive player if a transfer is completed.

During Dembele's one and only season in Germany after signing from Rennes, the wideman contributed 10 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions.
