That is the deadline, as revealed by 'Bild'. Borussia Dortmund have set that date to put pressure on Barcelona if they want to sign the winger.
They will have to put forward the money requested by the Bundesliga outfit if they want to secure the services of the young Frenchman, that is what the German source assured.
According to Spanish daily 'Mundo Deportivo' some days ago, that date was August 26, but in Germany reports suggest that Barcelona have one extra day to decide.
However, there will be no further negotiations: Borussia Dortmund will not accept a cut-price for Dembele. Wotzke already said so on Sunday and the club maintain their stance.
Will Dembele join Barcelona? If 'Bild' are right, we could have the answer in less than a week.
