Dembele Arrived At Barcelona ‘Very Frail’ Despite €105m Price Tag But Feels He Has Turned A Corner

The World Cup-winning forward has enjoyed a return to form and fitness in 2020-21, with struggles at Camp Nou being shaken off

Ousmane Dembele believes he has turned a corner at Barcelona, with the World Cup winner feeling he is starting to justify his €105 million (£92m/$128m) price tag after arriving at Camp Nou “very frail”.

The Liga giants invested heavily in the French forward’s potential after the record-breaking sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017.

Big things were expected of Dembele but, amid questions of his fitness and attitude, it is only recently that he has started to deliver on expectations.
