Borussia Dortmund chief Michael Zorc denies Mats Hummels is on his way to Barcelona.
It was claimed this week that BVB had agreed not to block Hummels from moving to the Nou Camp.
Zorc told Ruhr Nachrichten: "About 99.9 per cent of all professionals would want to listen to an enquiry from a club the size of Barcelona.
"But it's pure nonsense that we have granted permission (for a summer transfer)."
