Spanish club Barcelona are very close to signing Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele.
The fee, which is rumoured to be around 100m euros, will make Dembele the second most-expensive player of all time, after ex-Barcelona player Neymar, who is worth 200m euros.
The likely fee will be less than the 222m euros (£200m) Paris St-Germain paid Barcelona for Neymar in August.
However, it will be more than the £89m Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba.
France international Dembele has not featured for Dortmund since the German Super Cup on 5 August.
He joined the Bundesliga side from Rennes for 15m euros (£13.8m) 12 months ago, having only made his professional debut in 2015.
Last season, he scored 10 goals and provided 21 assists as Dortmund finished third in the league, won the German Cup and also reached the Champions League quarter-finals.
