Barcelona 'offer Ousmane Dembele deal on reduced wages'

Barcelona have reportedly offered Ousmane Dembele a new contract on reduced wages.

The 24-year-old has been a regular for Ronald Koeman's side during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 11 times and registering five assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

The France international's current deal is due to expire next summer, though, and a number of clubs, including Manchester United and Juventus, are said to be keeping a close eye on developments.

According to Marca, the World Cup winner has now been offered a new deal on reduced wages, as the Catalan giants look to trim their wage budget for next season.

The report claims that an unsettled Dembele is yet to make a decision, but the attacker will be placed on the transfer list if he does decide to turn down the new terms.

Dembele has contributed six goals and three assists in 29 La Liga appearances this term.
