Manchester United have been linked with a move for Ousmane Dembele for a long time now without it ever transpiring. Now though, it looks like they could have a big chance of making that happen. It appears that the Frenchman is set to leave Barcelona in the near future after failing to agree a contract extension with the club and his current deal running out in the summer.

As a result, it is believed that Barcelona are trying to find him a new club this month rather than see him walk out as a free agent just a few months later.

And Manchester United might be open to the idea of signing the winger in the January transfer window itself, but they have a condition that Barcelona might have to meet.

As reported by SPORT, Manchester United are ready to sign Dembele this month if Barcelona let him join on a free transfer and the Frenchman agrees a contract beyond the end of the current campaign.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold over the coming weeks and months in the Dembele transfer saga.

It is very possible that he could decide to remain at Barcelona till the end of the season because he most probably will have more options available to him in the summer than he has in the ongoing January transfer window.

Also, other than Manchester United, quite a few other club have been linked with Dembele as well, like Juventus and Chelsea. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain were believed to have withdrawn from the race for his signature but could now be back in the mix of things as it looks very likely that he could be available on a free transfer soon.
