Liverpool eye club-record move as Barcelona name Ousmane Dembele price
Frenchman is at breaking point with Barca bosses and could aid Jurgen Klopp's Prem title bid
BARCELONA have told Liverpool they will have to stump up £89million for Ousmane Dembele.
SunSport revealed last week that Jurgen Klopp is keen on offering the Nou Camp misfit a new home at Anfield.
That is despite the fact the Frenchman reportedly trashed the Reds boss’s house when he left Borussia Dortmund for Spain last year.
Dembele, 21, is believed to be at breaking point with Barca just over a year after his blockbuster £135.5m move.
He has regularly turned up late for training and has been dropped from the matchday squad on several occasions by boss Ernesto Valverde.
And, , Barcelona handed Dembele an ultimatum to improve his attitude this week.
Remember when Dembele trashed Klopp's house?
IT appears Jurgen Klopp remains a fan of Ousmane Dembele... despite the winger wrecking his house.
The hilarious incident occurred last year as Dembele attempted to force through his move from Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona.
Liverpool boss Klopp was the winger's landlord - having previously been in charge of the Germans.
And Dembele may well have lost his deposit after leaving the place in a state.
But club chiefs are not convinced that the winger can change – and will sell if they can recoup most of their original outlay.
Despite his struggles in La Liga, Dembele has scored six times this season and would be a perfect fit in Klopp’s Liverpool side.
The World Cup winner could play anywhere across the front three and provide much-needed competition for Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Liverpool ideally want Dembele in January as they bid to win a first-ever Premier League title.
But Sport claims Barcelona are currently only interested in selling at the end of the season.
A deal would smash the Reds’ club-record for the third time in two seasons – beating the £75m spent on Virgil van Dijk.
