At a press conference on Wednesday, ahead of Arsenal’s last Europa League game, Mikel Arteta spoke about the latest rumors about FC Barcelona’s interest in him. The Spanish technician is happy with Arsenal.
Despite FC Barcelona’s setbacks in the Champions League this season (he was eliminated from the group stage), coach Xavi still has the support of his captains. However, the Catalan administration already has a name in mind in the event that a change is made at the helm of the Blaugrana team in the near or distant future. In fact, according to the Catalan daily Sport, Barcelona is closely following Mikel Arteta’s work at Arsenal. The former midfielder is fond of his recent results with the current Premier League leaders.
