Barcelona insisted on Friday that the French attacker Ousmane Dembélé does not address United manchester.
“There are no negotiations with Manchester United,” sports director Ramon Planes said. “He is a player we have.”
The transfer window closes on Monday, October 5.
After Barcelona’s disastrous finale last season, Planes, who was named to his post in August, has been conducting a team review with new coach Ronald Koeman.
Demebele, 23, who has suffered a series of hamstring injuries since arriving from Dortmund in 2017, has been linked to a move.
“We hope we can take advantage of his football talent. I am convinced that he will have a great year with us,” Planes told a press conference to introduce young Dutch defender Sergino Dest.
“There are four days of market left, it is an atypical market. Many things can happen,” added Planes.
He noted that two French defenders, world champion Samuel Umtiti and Jean-Clair Todibo, 20, could be following Luis Suárez, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal out of the club.
“For Umtiti, we wish him the best. He is a great player, but at the moment he is going through a bad situation, which is typical of injuries in football,” Planes said.
“Jean-Clair has several offers. He wants to have time to play and grow on another team, and that must be respected.”
