This weekend, Bayern Munich's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic revealed that the 33-year-old striker wants to leave this summer.

"He said he wants to do something else. But our position has not changed.
"The fact is he has a contract to June 30, 2023."
While Bayern look to prioritise Dembele as an attacking replacement, Barcelona are now desperately scrambling to offer him a new deal.
Club chiefs want him to stay, but they have also told him to lower his demands.
Dembele is currently the fourth most expensive player in the world.
Barca paid £135.5m to sign him from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, but he failed to live up to expectations.

The forward has one year left in his contract with the Merseysiders and is reportedly keen to move to LaLiga with the Blaugrana posing as his preferred destination.
This comes after reports suggesting Bayern Munich are lining up a sensational bid for the Senegal international as they see him as a "statement transfer".
It has been reported that contract discussions between Liverpool and Mane are proving to be "difficult".

The Spanish giants have also been keeping tabs on Bayern star Robert Lewandowski.

Mane joined Liverpool in 2016 from Southampton and has been a standout performer ever since.
The Senegalese star has amassed a whopping total of 118 goals and 47 assists in 265 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side.
