Dembele to refuse PSG move in Neymar swap?

Ousmane Dembele's agent insists that the Frenchman will not be leaving Barcelona this summer despite talk of being included in a swap for Neymar.

Ousmane Dembele will '100% be staying at Barcelona' this summer, according to the France international's agent Moussa Sissoko.

Dembele, who is currently on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, has been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain as part of a potential swap for Neymar.

It has been reported that PSG are keen to land the 22-year-old in any deal which would see Neymar complete a return to Camp Nou before the European transfer window closes on September 2.

However, according to the former Borussia Dortmund youngster's agent, the attacker will not be leaving the Spanish champions under any circumstances.

"He is staying 100%. There is no chance he will leave,' Sissoko told Telefoot. "He wants and will win at Barca."

Dembele, who has had a number of disciplinary issues at Camp Nou, has scored 18 times and registered 17 assists in 66 appearances for his Spanish club since making the move from Dortmund.

Real Madrid have also been strongly linked with a move for Neymar this summer, although it appears that Barca are in the driving seat to re-sign the Brazil international before the deadline.
