In a recent interview with OnzeTV3, Joan Laporta discussed several aspects of the Blaugrana's transfer window movement ahead of the coming season.
One of the topics discussed was last year's transfer saga involving Dutch international Frenkie de Jong, who had been heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United. Laporta said Barcelona turned down a big-money bid for the midfielder.
Laporta then listed De Jong alongside the likes of Spain internationals Pedri and Ansu Fati as players the LaLiga champions have received formal offers for, but claimed their sales have not been considered.
"We've received offers for Pedri, Ansu Fati, [Andreas] Christensen, De Jong and [Ronald] Araujo but we think they have to continue," he said.
"They have a present and a future at the club."
Reports in recent weeks, however, have suggested the Catalan giants have been open to parting ways with at least one of the players mentioned by Laporta.
Fati had reportedly been the subject of interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, a move his super-agent Jorge Mendes was said to be pushing for.
