Barcelona Star Rejects Final Contract Extension Offer at Camp Nou Amid Links to Chelsea FC

• Ousmane Dembele seems to have played his last game for Barcelona as the Frenchman rejected a final contract extension offer
• English Premier League club Chelsea are jostling for the signature of the forward and he could join them for free
• Dembele, who has been in negotiations with the Stamford Bridge outfit, might move to England on a free transfer

Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele has reportedly rejected a contract extension to stay with the Camp Nou outfit as Premier League club Chelsea prepare to sign him.

The Frenchman, whose deal expires at the end of June, looks set to dump the Catalan giants for a move to the Premier League on a free transfer.

Daily Mail reports that the forward is in negotiations with Chelsea since he seems to have failed to live up to expectations in Catalonia after completing a £120million switch from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.

Disciplinary issues have plagued his progress at the Spanish club; despite that, he found a way to break into the club’s starting line-up.

Journalist Santi Ovalle said on the Cadena Ser show 'Que t'hi jugues,' that the French forward has rejected the last offer made by the Catalan club.

As a result, Barcelona are done with the player and will no longer make an attempt to make him stay when his contract lapses on June 30, Barca Universal reports.

The La Liga outfit reportedly knew Dembele would reject a new deal for a number of weeks - despite even offering him a one-year contract extension with £8.67million release clause.

Donny Van de Beek offered to AS Roma

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Manchester United midfielder Donny Van de Beek has reportedly been offered to Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma, despite the arrival of his former manager Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Van de Beek spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton, but his spell was underwhelming as he struggled with injuries and consistency.

He is set to return to Manchester United following the end of his loan spell with the Toffees, but there is a possibility the Dutchman could be on the move yet again.
