Mikel Arteta stands out from the interest of FC Barcelona

It does some days, in the sportive press arose the rumour that Joan Laporta had chosen already to the that went to be his trainer in case to win the elections of the FC Barcelona. This technician went to be Mikel Arteta, preparador of the Arsenal and ex pupilo of Pep Guardiola​ in the Manchester City, where was his second. After learning of the best, the candidate would have decided to trust him the Barça in case to win the Sunday in the comicios.

However, this past Tuesday his right hand, Rafael Yuste, ensured that there was not at all with the donostiarra and that only thought in that to Ronald Koeman went him well. "I deny it entirely. From here I wish that Ronald have a successful season. Joan and I want to give our support to the players and give them a message of motivation. Koeman Is making a work encomiable, being brave, betting by the quarry... All this without a president, and this has a lot of value. Arteta Is a big trainer, fellow of Pep, but have not spoken with him", affirmed.

After this denied, has been the own Arteta the one who has pronounced about this presumptive interest. The Basque, that played several years in the inferior categories of the Barça, admitted that the group barcelonista always will be special for him, but that only thinks in triumphing like technical director of the Arsenal. The ex midfield player has it clear and seems complicated that the rumours on his signing can be true.

"Obviously I bred me there like player and always there will be bonds, but am entirely concentrated in the work that have to do here, that have a lot that do, and am enjoying it a lot. What can say them is that I seat me privileged to direct this club of football and that am very happy", aimed the míster, that is trying to carry to the 'gunners' to the place where deserve to be by history.

However, the trainer also admitted that it has not negotiated still the renewal of his agreement, that finalises in 2023. In spite of this, recognised that it is not nervous and that does not have haste for doing it. "No. We are in the half of the season, have a lot for playing and for the moment is not a priority. I think that it is well. Still I have an agreement here. I am happy here and do not think that was something urgent", indicated.

Laporta Will trust by the moment in Koeman

It will be necessary to see in what finish all this, but the words of Yuste and of the own Arteta leave clear that it is little likely that the one of San Sebastián finish in the Barcelona this summer. Nevertheless, still they remain a lot of months for summer and in the football the things can change quickly. For the moment, Laporta and his people will trust Koeman, but if the results do not accompany to the Dutch there is not doubt that they will take decisions.
