Dembélé will shake the summer transfer window well
While it was announced on the shelves of Manchester United or Chelsea this summer, Moussa Dembélé, in great shape at the start of 2020, could again cross the Channel next summer.

In this sense, L'Equipe claims that OL are preparing to let go of their attacker during the next transfer window, while offers up to 40 million euros could be refused this winter.
Manchester United to release checkbook
In addition to Mertens and Dembélé, Manchester United have ticked other names to strengthen themselves on the front lines of the attack this summer. While the Sun reports an envelope of 160 million pounds (190 million euros) for the two young English stars of the championship James Maddison (Leicester, 23 years old) and Jack Grealish (Aston Villa, 24 years old), the Daily Mirror reports a pronounced interest in Jadon Sancho, the nugget of Dortmund (19 years old) passed by the neighbor Manchester City, valued at some 150 million euros by the Football Observatory. After the 55 million euros (excluding bonuses) spent on Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United is therefore preparing to attack again to start again, as confirmed by executive Ed Woodward at the microphone of Sky Sports : "In the reconstruction, we see next summer as an important opportunity."
Mertens to England at the end of the season

Faced with internal difficulties, like many of the managers in the locker room after the mutiny affair, Mertens should not stretch his lease in Sicily and then freely enter into business. The club that will recover the elf could be in England as reported by the Daily Mail which reports the insistence of Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea, already close to signing the Belgian international this winter.
