Barcelona reportedly have no plans to sell rumoured Liverpool and Arsenal target Ousmane Dembele in January, despite speculation that he has asked to leave the club.

Barcelona reportedly have no plans to sell winger Ousmane Dembele in January, contrary to recent speculation.

Rumours regarding Dembele's future at Camp Nou have been rife in recent weeks, with Liverpool and Arsenal thought to be amongst the interested parties and a swap deal for Neymar also mooted.

The France international was reported to have asked to leave the club having become frustrated with a lack of regular football, while manager Ernesto Valverde was understood to be open to the idea of selling him due to questions over his professionalism.

However, ESPN reports that Dembele has not put in a transfer request and that Barcelona have no plans to cash in on the 21-year-old when the window reopens in January.

Dembele has endured a difficult time at Barcelona so far, missing a large chunk of his debut season through injury and struggling to hold down a regular starting role this season.

The former Borussia Dortmund attacker has scored seven goals in 16 appearances for Barcelona this term, but has been in and out of the team since starting the first nine games of the campaign.
