Ousmane Dembele has reportedly not ruled out signing a new contract with Barcelona despite being told by the club that he will be sold before the end of the January transfer window.
The France international has entered the final six months of his deal at Camp Nou and has been informed that he needs to leave before the winter market closes.
Dembele, who is believed to be a target for the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus on a free transfer, has since insisted that he will not be forced out of the club.
According to Mundo Deportivo, despite the latest developments, the World Cup winner has not closed the door on signing a renewal with the Catalan giants.
The report claims that Dembele's agent Moussa Sissoko will travel to Barcelona next week to meet with the La Liga giants to discuss the current situation.
The 24-year-old, who was left out of the squad against Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night, has scored once and provided two assists in 11 appearances at club level this season.
