Dembele will remain at Barça "no matter what"

The source claims to have spoken directly to Dembele, who was clearer than ever about his intentions. "He told me he is not moving", said the journalist. 

"He assured me that 80% of the published content in Spanish media is nonsense" continued Pierre Menes. This comes as several Spanish sources had claimed he would be part of a swap deal, which also included Ivan Rakitic, in order to bring Neymar back to the Camp Nou.  

The French journalist claims that Dembele was very straightforward and clear about his position. "I am not moving, no matter what happens" were reportedly the words of the Frenchman, who already played under Tuchel in Germany in his time with Borussia Dortmund and had since joined Barcelona, where the expectations were not entirely met. 

Meanwhile, his agent Moussa Sissoko also spoke to the press recently to confirm the same position. "The meeting between PSG and Barça for Neymar does not concern us. He is staying 1000%" said Dembele's representative.
