Barcelona directors are resigned to losing Ousmane Dembele at the end of this season.
While it's emerged Dembele has told Barca teammates he wants to stay, club chiefs can't see any way working with his agent.
Marca says Barca believe Moussa Sissoko will seek to "kill off" any attempts to revive negotiations over a new deal.
Sissoko is currently speaking to Premier League clubs and PSG and believes Dembele will be better served leaving Barca.
For the moment, Barca are insisting Dembele must accept a major pay-cut on his current salary to stay.
