Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele for a fee that could rise to 147m euros making him the world's second most expensive player.

Barca will pay an initial 105m euros for the 20-year-old French international who has agreed a five‑year contract and will undergo a medical on Monday.

The deal is eclipsed only by Neymar's recent £200m move to Paris St‑Germain.

Barca revealed that his deal will contain a release clause of 400m euros.

Dembele has not featured for Dortmund since the German Super Cup on 5th August. The German side rejected a bid from Barca for the forward earlier in August, with the player then suspended for missing training.
