According to Sport, the Catalan giants have rejected a bid of €70 million from Bayern Munich for Ousmane Dembele. Bayern Munich's bid for Dembele was immediately turned down by Barcelona, who want at least €100 million for the Frenchman.

Despite showing huge potential, the 22-year-old has been struggling to stamp his authority at Camp Nou. Dembele made 20 LaLiga starts last season and finished with eight goals and five assists.

Barcelona paid €105m plus €40m in add-ons for the youngster two years ago and wants to recoup most of the money. Bayern Munich desperately needs a winger to cope without Robben and Ribery next season.

They were linked with Manchester City's Leroy Sane earlier but the English club were reluctant to sell the German international. Whether Bayern will come back with an improved offer is still uncertain.
