Barcelona contacted Juventus earlier this summer to discuss a swap deal involving Ousmane Dembele and Dejan Kulusevski, according to a report.

Barcelona reportedly contacted Juventus earlier this summer to offer the Italian champions the chance to sign Ousmane Dembele as part of a swap deal for Dejan Kulusevski.

Dembele, who has struggled with a number of injuries during his time at Camp Nou, is out of contract next summer and his future with the Catalan giants is far from clear.

The 24-year-old has previously been linked with Manchester United, while Juventus are believed to be admirers of a player who has scored 30 times in 118 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions.

According to Kickoff, Ronald Koeman's side proposed a swap deal involving Dembele and Kulusevski, but the Italian champions turned down the offer.

Kulusevski was a regular for the Old Lady during the 2020-21 campaign, making 47 appearances in all competitions, contributing seven goals and seven assists in the process.

The attacker, who still has four years left to run on his contract in Turin, was also in action for Sweden at this summer's European Championship, contributing two assists in two appearances.
