Ousmane Dembele is apparently set to stay at Barcelona with the French winger close to convincing his representative, Moussa Sissoko, that it's the best thing for his career. If the 25-year-old does remain at the Camp Nou, the Catalonian outfit will reportedly end their interest in Leeds United winger Raphinha.
With Dembele's contract running out at the end of the month, Chelsea were believed to be interested in securing a free transfer for the Barca man. Although they've seemingly turned their attention to Manchester City's Raheem Sterling in recent days, football.london understands that the Blues will bring in more attacking players this summer and it looked as though Dembele would join this revamp.
However, as per Catalonian outlet ara, Dembele believes staying at Barca and working under Xavi - who has always believed in his ability - is the best thing for his career. The report adds that with the Frenchman set to remain in Catalonia, the club will no longer pursue Leeds United winger Raphinha.
