Bartomeu to Dembele: Barcelona are counting on you Barcelona Don't want to sell this summer

There are plenty of Barcelona players being linked with a summer exit but one player who won't be leaving the Camp Nou is Ousmane Dembele.

There had been reports that the Frenchman would be used as part of an attempt to sign Neymar, but Josep Maria Bartomeu has put those rumours to bed.

"We're counting on you," was the message from the Catalan club's president for the forward in a meeting between Dembele's agent and the Barcelona directors.

Barcelona wish to build a team of young players which includes Dembele, Frenkie de Jong, Jean-Clair Todibo and possibly Matthijs de Ligt. The priority is not to sign Neymar.

Therefore, the Blaugrana are will not be entertaining offers for Dembele this summer and they're expecting him to perform for the club next season.
