Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta NOT willing to join Barcelona

Mikel Arteta has no intention of leaving Arsenal at the end of the season with a move to Barcelona in mind. The Gunners boss, who arrived on the bench at the Emirates Stadium in December 2019, has achieved a gradual and steady improvement which, last season, almost led to the Premier League title, which ended up in Manchester City's trophy cabinet. He does not intend to put an end to this journey.
'Sky Sports', one of Britain's most influential media outlets, reports that leaks from Spain about the manager being tipped to leave London for Barcelona are false. The Spaniard is comfortable where he is despite being knocked out of the FA and EFL Cup this term. the London side remain firmly in contention for the Champions League - qualified to the last 16 - and sit third in the domestic championship.
While their domestic cup defeat was shocking enough because it came against West Ham United, who, theoretically, have far less quality than their squad, the FA Cup disappointment came against a Liverpool side who, this year, are once again unbeatable. In fact, they are the main candidates to finish the campaign as champions, which would be the best way to bid farewell to a Jurgen Klopp who has decided to abandon his Anfield project.
The news linking Mikel Arteta to Barcelona had been triggered hours after Xavi Hernandez announced that he would not remain at the Catalan giants after 30th June, thereby forfeiting the remaining season of his contract. The timing was suspicious; hence the British press were quick to comment on the matter.
