With talks of Ousmane Dembele moving to Paris Saint-Germain gaining weight, Barcelona appear to be already looking at possible candidates to replace the 26-year-old winger.

Dembele has reportedly agreed a five-year contract with PSG and Barça have been notified of the same already. Should the French champions pay his €50 million release clause by the end of the day, he will be on the move.

If they are unable to close the deal by end of day today, the release clause will rise to €100 million, at which point PSG will try and negotiate a price with Barcelona.

Either way, Barcelona are bracing for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s departure, and as such, SPORT has come out with a report about the possible replacements that the La Liga champions will look at.

Leroy Sane an option for Barcelona

As per the report, one of the names Barcelona could potentially look at to replace Dembele is Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane.

The 27-year-old has been a regular in the side for the Bavarian giants, featuring 133 times in which he has 38 goals and 37 assists.

Sane, whose current market value stands at €65 million, is a versatile player with plenty of experience at the highest level from his time at Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Furthermore, his time at City under Pep Guardiola might help him get familiar with Barça’s system fairly easily and a reunion with former teammates Ilkay Gundogan and Eric Garcia should also help with his adaptation.

Sane is one of several players that Barcelona could look at, although Bernardo Silva could be their priority option should there be room and finances for a new top-quality signing this summer.

There is also a possibility that Xavi Hernandez & co. could turn to an in-house solution in Ez Abde and invest the proceeds from Dembele’s departure on a new right-back.
