Ousmane Dembele insists he will NOT be leaving Barcelona this summer and declares he is 'fine' after being quizzed by a fan amid his refusal to sign a new deal, dealing a blow to Chelsea's hopes of signing him for free

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele has declared he is 'fine' at his current club and is adamant he will not be leaving this summer, despite reports indicating he will walk away as a free agent after failing to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Dembele has failed to live up to expectations at the Nou Camp since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in a staggering £120million deal in 2017, but the Blaugrana are believed to be keen to keep him - and have even tabled him an extension.

Chelsea have also been strongly linked him the 25-year-old, and their hopes of a switch look to have taken a blow after the player himself commented on his future.
