Ousmane Dembele admitted he was targeted by barcelona last season. He still linked with Barcelona though.

Borussia Dortmund attacker Ousmane Dembele admitted Barcelona were interested in his services last year as he continues to be linked with the LaLiga giants.

The star attacker has reportedly attracted interest from Barca but is contracted at Dortmund until 2021. Dembele only joined the Bundesliga outfit from Rennes last year and said Barca had also been keen. "Last year I had contact with the Barcelona sports director," he said, via Mundo Deportivo.
