The 21-year-old suffered a serious hamstring injury that hampered his early days in Spain.

Now back fit and ready for the new season, Dembele will be hoping to impress manager Ernesto Valverde only if Messi wants him to stay.

And he may well have to hit the ground running alongside Lionel Messi if he is to remain at the club.

Marca claim there is still a chance of Dembele leaving Barcelona.
