Moussa Dembele Juventus transfer 'back on the table' as mounting interest promises huge Celtic windfall

Juventus have reportedly rekindled their interest in Moussa Dembele as the race to land the striker stepped up another notch.

The former Celtic striker is a target for Chelsea , Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur with the Hoops due a chunk of any fee paid for his services.

Dembele has become one of Europe's hottest properties since moving to Lyon for £19.8million in August 2018.

It emerged on Thursday night Spurs had joined their Premier League rivals in the hunt following a crushing injury blow ruled Harry Kane out until April.

And now Calciomercato claim Juve boss Maurizio Sarri has reignited his club's long-held interest in the 23-year-old Frenchman.

Juventus had Dembele watched in August last year but a potential move was dismissed by Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas.

In the latest Transfer Window Podcast, Duncan Castles revealed OL are prepared to hold firm and rake in as much cash as possible for Dembele - 10 per cent of which would land at Parkhead.

He said: "They will take a big offer if they have maximised the valuation on a player whenever it comes.

"The information I have is the expectation of Lyon's asking price is it will be above €100m euros.

"Why? Because when Tottenham came in for Tanguy Ndombele in the summer they were happy to ask, initially, for a €100m euros for that player.

"Their president Jean-Michel Aulas is willing to test the desire of big English clubs to pay out serious money."

Dembele has scored three times in his last two games after a lean spell in front of goal before Christmas.
