The former Borussia Dortmund winger has been reported as part of the deal that will see Neymar return to the Camp Nou after spending two years at the Parc de Princes.

And responding to reports linking his client to the French Ligue 1 champions, Moussa Sissoko has stressed Dembele is nowhere near Barcelona exit.

“Ousmane is staying 100%. There is no chance he will leave. He wants and will win at Barça,” agent Moussa Sissoko told Telefoot.

Dembele, since arriving from German giants Dortmund has enjoyed two successful campaigns, winning two LaLiga titles with the Blaugrana.

Barcelona recruited the French World Cup winner in 2017 for a reported €105 million plus a reported €40 million add-ons.

The 22-year-old scored 8 goals with five assists for the Catalans in the LaLiga last season.

Despite an impressive run at the club, Dembele had been restricted to just 20 starts in La Liga and failed to sustain a run of games without further injuries.

With PSG’s sporting director Leonardo said to be a fan of Dembele, the club is reluctant to offload their star forward Neymar without securing the services of the nimble-footed Dembele.

However, Barcelona are eager to sign the Brazilian after a delegation including director Javier Bordas and other key figures such as Eric Abidal and Oscar Grau are reportedly in France to ensure the deal is finalised by the close of the week.

Neymar, who departed Barcelona in a staggering 222 million in 2017 featured seventeen times for the Parisians scoring 15 goals with seven assists in the just-ended Ligue 1 season.
