Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United are working twice as hard to make second summer signing

In the past couple of days, rumours surround Manchester United that the club have opened talks to sign French winger Ousmane Dembele.

However, there are two problems United are trying to solve, as per Fabrizio Romano.

Confirmed. Ousmane Démbélé always said ‘no’ to any loan or permanent bid on this summer, also to Manchester United two weeks ago.

The first problem is Dembele is refusing to move out of the Catalan club. This is further confirmed by Mohamed Bouhafsi [via Tier 1 Podcast.]

Dembele loves the city and wants to prove his talent at Camp Nou. He’s rejected offers from Juventus and Liverpool before. He also refused an offer from the Mancunian club two weeks ago.

The second problem is the structure of the deal. United are looking to sign Dembele on a loan deal with an option to buy. However, Barcelona are looking for a bid around €60-70m.
