Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has moved to deny reports of making a transfer request.

It broke this week that Kounde had asked to be sold after being frustrated over being played out of position this season.

However, he has now taken to social media to deny the claims.

"To make it clear: at no time did I ask to leave, so I'm not going anywhere," he posted.

Kounde joined Barca last summer in a €50m move from Sevilla.
