Semedo has been linked with moves to Inter and Manchester City while Dembele's injury issues have mounted.
Braithwaite joined from Leganes back in February as an emergency signing after injury to Luis Suarez, with many not seeing a long-term future for the Danish international.
Brazilian midfielder Arthur has already agreed a transfer to Juventus, in a deal which will see Miralem Pjanic move the opposite way.
Meanwhile, the club see Martinez as a successor to Suarez and someone who can lead Barcelona into the future.
A move will prove costly however and Mundo Deportivo have claimed a transfer will only be possible if Barca win the Champions League.

"We need to take a breather, let some air in, and clean out minds of all that has happened since December.
"Playing like this we will lose against Napoli.
