Barcelona have reiterated their stance that Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong is not for sale.
New United manager Erik ten Hag has made De Jong a key transfer target and both clubs have been in negotiations for over a month.
Reports emerged last week that a fee was close to being agreed for De Jong, in the region of £65million, only for Barca president Joan Laporte to insist: "We have no intention of selling him, he wants to stay."
Speaking on Wednesday, Laporte doubled down on the club's stance.
Asked at Franck Kessie's unveiling for the latest on De Jong, Laporte said: "Frenkie is a Barcelona player. He is not for sale, we don't want to transfer him."
United earlier this week confirmed their first signing of the Ten Hag era with Tyrell Malacia joining from PSV in a £14.7m move.
Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez is also a target, but face competition from Arsenal.
