Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that the winger is determined to stay at Barcelona and prove himself following his £135million move from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
He said on Here We Go podcast: "Remember we've talked about Dembele's situation with Liverpool and Juventus, Barcelona and Manchester United.
"The player's position is the same, he doesn't want to move and his agent had a meeting with Ronald Koeman one week ago.
"Koeman was talking to his agent and said 'I trust in Dembele and I want Dembele in my team' so at the moment Dembele wants to stay in Barcelona.

"If Manchester United will go for him, they will have to find an agreement with Barcelona which won't be so easy and they will have to convince the player."
United are also exploring a possible deal for Ismaila Sarr and have been in talks with Watford since this morning.
The Red Devils have reportedly lodged a loan offer but Watford want an option to buy included at £45m.
Sarr is also being considered by Borussia Dortmund as a potential replacement for Sancho.
