Seydou Dembélé is attracting interest from several major European clubs, including RB Salzburg, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, and Chelsea. An offer of €1.5 million has been made by Chelsea for the young Malian attacking midfielder. Balla Sanogo, the sporting director of the Africa Foot academy, stated that a move to Salzburg would be very good for the player's development, noting the strong relationship between the Jean-Marc Guillou academy and the Austrian club. Sanogo also expressed concern that a transfer to Chelsea could be financially significant but might hinder Dembélé's career progression if he is not sent on loan to a feeder club. He believes it would take a long time for him to get playing time with the English team.
