On October 30th, Catalan radio station RAC1 reported the leaders of Barcelona gave orders to probe the market for sanctioning Ousmane Dembele’s sale in January.
Wednesday’s edition of Sport claims the forward is ‘not for sale’ and the La Liga winners have full confidence that the Frenchman will continue to develop with them.
For the same reason, the 21-year-old’s possibility of leaving the club at start of the next year is said to be very low.
The Blaugrana are aware there is ‘clear evolution’ with the former Borussia Dortmund man this season when compared with his debut campaign, even though he has still not reached their desired level.
In addition to this, Ernesto Valverde is in no mood to give up on the World Cup winner, who has managed to get closer to his teammates in recent months. This would contrast to reports he’s lost patience.
Dembele cost Barcelona €105m plus variables and that is another reason why they don’t want to let him go.
They are aware they would not be able to receive the same transfer fee or more if they make him available in the market. 
Sport mentions that if the attacker decides to take steps to further improve his game, then the Spanish champions will have a profile of the player that is currently not available at the Camp Nou.
