The France international’s existing deal at Barcelona will no longer be valid next June, meaning that, as it stands, the player will be free to hold negotiations with foreign clubs at the start of 2022.
Newcastle United and Manchester United continue to be touted with an interest in the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, while the Serie A giants Juventus are also said to be desperate to sign the star on a free transfer.
However, according to a fresh report from Mundo Deportivo, the presence of Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge could lead to the 24-year-old attacker sealing the move to West London.
Blaugrana reportedly ‘suspect’ that the German head coach is behind the London side’s interest, as Thomas managed the speedy wide man at Borussia Dortmund during the 2016-17 season, and the duo are understood to have a strong relationship.
Ousmane has only made four appearances for the Catalan outfit during the 2021-22 term, having picked up a hamstring issue after working his way back from a long-term knee injury.
