Liverpool FC are interested in a loan deal to sign FC Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, according to a report in France.

Website Sportlens quote an unnamed report in France that suggests Liverpool FC are eager to bring in Dembele in the summer transfer window.

The same article states states that the Reds would be keen to insert a clause in the deal that would allow Liverpool FC to sign Dembele in a permanent deal.

According to the same story, if Demeble does arrive, Liverpool FC supporters should be worried about a wide man departing in the summer.

Dembele moved to FC Barcelona in a £120m deal from Borussia Dortmund last summer following his impressive form for the Bundesliga outfit.

The 20-year-old has scored three goals and has made six assists in 10 starts and five substitute appearances in FC Barcelona’s title-winning campaign.

Liverpool FC sold their star player Philippe Coutinho in a £142m deal from FC Barcelona in the January transfer window.

The Reds have the Coutinho funds to invest in new playing staff at the end of the campaign.

Liverpool FC will face La Liga giants Real Madrid in the Champions League final later this month.
