Franck Kessie's agent has poured cold water on reports that the midfielder has been made available for transfer by Barcelona.
The Ivory Coast international only joined the LaLiga giants from AC Milan last summer. But he struggled for starts since his arrival at the Nou Camp, though he was a regular in Xavi's team as they won the Spanish title for the first time in four years.
Barca are now thought to be open to selling the 26-year-old as they look to raise funds for another summer of spending. The LaLiga champions remain in financial difficulties, with a major upgrade forcing them to play away from the Nou Camp next season.
