Sky Sports News has been told there are currently no talks ongoing between Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona over a possible Ousmane Dembele transfer.

Dortmund forward Dembele has emerged as one of Barcelona's key summer targets as they look for a replacement for Neymar, who left the club earlier this month for Paris Saint-Germain in a world record transfer.

The Bundesliga side has already turned down one bid of £90.4m for Dembele but sources in Germany have told Sky Sports News there have been no further offers and that there is no agreement in place.

Dembele is currently suspended by Borussia after missing training in the wake of their decision to reject Barcelona's initial offer.

Dembele believes he has a gentleman's agreement with Dortmund to join a club such as Barcelona but that has also been denied by Dortmund.

The German club confirmed earlier this week that suspension had been extended "until further notice" as they attempted to focus on the start of the 2017-18 Bundesliga season against Wolfsburg on Saturday.
