However, the Daily Star claim Mourinho wants to bring him to Manchester United.
United are also monitoring Dembele and could make a move for him amid growing uncertainty over Wayne Rooney's future.
Though Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann is Mourinho's No1 summer target, his £85million price tag could scupper a deal.
