WANTAWAY Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele would reportedly prefer a move to Chelsea over Manchester United having worked with Thomas Tuchel.
The Frenchman played under Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund before his big money move to LaLiga.
Things haven't quite worked in Catalonia and with Dembele's contract due to expire in the summer, Barca would like to shift him sooner to try and claw back some of the money they spent on him.
A move to the Premier League could be on the cards but not in the January transfer window.
Neither Chelsea or Man Utd are interested in snapping Dembele up early.
But according to L’Équipe, Dembele would prefer a move to the European champions should both clubs make a move in the summer.
Dembele played under Blues boss Tuchel during his days at German outfit Dortmund.
Paris Saint-Germain could pounce on the Premier League club's hesitancy though.

The French outfit have reportedly reached a 'verbal agreement' with the Barca contract rebel.
He's now set to become a PSG player, 'barring an incredible turnaround' according to French outlet FootMercato.
Whether that's before the winter deadline or in the summer though remains to be seen.
A move back to his native country to play for the Parisians would see him link up with his former captain Lionel Messi.
