This is one of the fake news made to set the agenda. It is very wrong to make this news while Arsenal are playing good football. Arteta is focused on football.
I don't see any reason Arteta will want to leave a team that he has built so far to go start shaping up another team. Whatever glory he has in mind, there is a good chance he can achieve if with this pace he is on with Arsenal, with some little additions to our team in the January transfer window to strengthen the team, he can have a dream team. Arteta is happy at arsenal, both the players and fans respect and love him for the hope he has given that Arsenal can be Arsenal again.

On the other hand Barcelona and not really playing bad in both leagues they just performed poorly in the champions League. Xavi will still be given time, the management of Barcelona respects him.
I'm not sure in the news it will be true because Mikel Arteta is now more focused on Arsenal to build a stronger team and they prefer to be in Arsenal whose squad they are building so they can become a strong team, in the future anything can happen but I think Arteta can be loyal to Arsenal.
It can be said that Arsenal returned to their heyday with Arteta so of course fans and players have great respect for him who can make a team that is more tough on the pitch by the opponent so for the opportunity to leave for Arteta in a few seasons it is impossible.

Xavi should be given a lot of time by the Barcelona management because I think Xavi's talent is good, it's just that it takes time for him to finalize his strategy even though there are many great players in it.

I read some news that said about Pep's opinion about Messi and indeed he praised Messi but that doesn't mean this makes him want him.
At the moment Pep is full of young players who are actually still promising and given Messi's age I agree with what you say because in the end it could be like Ronaldo at Manchester United.
Age is still something that is difficult to fight for the Premier League.

Both Ronaldo Cristiano and Lionel Messi have spent ten years as the best in the world but the thing is age affects this players at a certain time
Pep Guardiola was the one who brought Lionel Messi upamd trained him at Barcelona, that doesn't means he will come back to work with the manager but he may have a chance to help represent Barcelona currently.
Messi will only last a little longer if you look at his current age which is already 35 years old meaning there are only a few years left for Messi now so to be one of the retainers of City is obviously a little difficult at this age when facing a tough match it will definitely be a bit difficult, not to mention there must be adaptation first.
Saying the real Barcelona Messi also has to think that with Barcelona's current financial condition this will actually only be a grave dig for Messi and Barcelona considering with his current salary whether Barcelona can survive La Liga regulations.
It's good enough that he's at PSG because at least he can focus on playing without getting into trouble.

There is some speculation such as Barcelona might be targeting Arteta to replace Xavi in the future.

I don't see this very realistic at the moment. Because before anything else, Barcelona management don't seem uncomfortable with Xavi's job right now. Maybe their being eliminated in the Champions League this easy was some loss of credit for Xavi but they are still hopeful about the La Liga title now. This is the most serious season for the title as they can play at a similar level with Real Madrid right now. But if they don't keep up a good form and let Real Madrid pull away earlier then Xavi might be in trouble. Then Arteta might be a choice considering his success with Arsenal so far this season.

I don't think Arteta would be interested if the information were true. Seeing Arteta position at Arsenal is quite important, even Arteta has built the squad to be quite scary at this time in the Premier League. Barcelona considers Xavi increasingly unable to provide what Barcelona officials expect. In addition, Arteta has also confirmed that his comfort at Arsenal will continue.

Quote
"I'm extremely happy," he said. "I'm proud to be where I am."

Brotherhood is love
Guardiola refused to transfer Messi even when he was at a normal age. Do you really think that now that Messi has grown old and his results have obviously fallen, something has changed? I'm wondering where you heard these stories from. In my opinion Messi's move to City is simply not possible, and a move to Barcelona cannot take place for financial reasons.

Since they talked about Pep Guardiola, I remembered a rumor I read about his former assistant, to eventually replace Xavi at Barcelona.... I'm talking about Mikel Arteta.
It seems that Arteta even talked about it in an interview he gave before the match against Zürich in the Europa League, where he denied this possibility and even praised the work that Xavi has been doing at Barcelona.
What do you think? Could Barcelona be looking to replace Xavi with Arteta?

I don't know how this coaches transfers are done and how much they earn. If I may ask, what will be the gain of Arteta if he leaves the Arsenal thag he has organised, arsenal that has the potentials of winning the Epl Tittle and Europa league to Barcelona.
How much does Arsenal pay Arteta and how much will Barcelona pay him. Will Barcelona be able to pay Arteta x2 of what Arsenal pays him?
I am just trying to understand why a coach will leave where he is doing well to jump into where there is much problems to be fixed. Where can possibly cost his career. I consider it to be a rumor and to remain a rumour.

Why won't they be performing great when they're playing mostly against farmers. I mean who still watches La Liga when the goats are out of the league. It's only real Madrid that has been carrying that league for sometime now. Their representative couldn't even make it to the round of 16, just real Madrid representing them. Barcelona can never win the Europa as well, they'll get eliminate from that league just as they did in the champions league. Xavi is too young and inexperienced to coach a club like Barcelona. If they leave him, he'll still be coming second best while wasting the Barcelona funds signing players he can't manage to get the best from them.

Also, Mikel Arteta would definitely leave Arsenal if the right offers comes, let say Pep contract doesn't get renewed at Manchester city and the citizens wants Arteta, he's definitely considering such proposal. Arsenal is a small clubs and just as Potter left Brighton for Chelsea, Artea would do the same to arsenal without second thought.

Xavi has done a really good job at barcelona and i think the management still trust Xavi as the barcelona coach, apart from that arteta has also stated that he is focused on arsenal and it doesn't look like he will be leaving anytime soon, barcelona shape which is bad in the european league but in my opinion barcelona performance in the league is not too bad so it's still too soon for us to assume that Xavi has failed in barcelona in my opinion.
The Barcelona xavi has transformed today is far better that what Xavi came to see. Even if Barcelona is finding it difficult to be at the top in every league I still don't see them to be failure.  Barcelona performance is not that bad , Barcelona is just having a little set back that if they should work on their self a little bit,  things might turn better. The management needs to give xavi a little time to put things in order.. my happiness is that xavi has done better for Barcelona than before.

I read somewhere that there is talk of bringing Ronaldo back to Italy, in Naples.
Obviously I do not know if they are speculations of the forum (Italian league thread) or are real rumors. Of course seeing Ronaldo in Italy would be very nice, I hope so.

How credible is the claim that Arteta wants allowed to leave Arsenal anytime soon? Xavi Hernandez is also now creating a strong team despite his current weaknesses. I still adhere to Xavi's concept; given enough time, Barcelona will become a team that will be challenging to beat.

Mikel Arteta still hasn't responded to those rumors in the first place, I think he is fully focused and commitment to Arsenal still stands.
He is focused on helping Arsenal Winning them first Premier League Title since the era of Arsene Wenger who won last since 2004 as they went invisible that season.

Now referring to Xavi Hernandez, I don't Barcelona are considering pathing ways with the former Barcelona captain, I know who framed this all up so they can make big bucks from the news. Xavi Hernandez goes nowhere and also Mikel Arteta stays at Arsenal. The news is purely speculated news.

This is one of the fake news made to set the agenda. It is very wrong to make this news while Arsenal are playing good football. Arteta is focused on football. Even someone who doesn't understand football can say this. Xavi is one of the legends of Barcelona. He still has time to team up and that time will be given to him. It should be given. Arteta also failed when he first started, but now the whole world is watching Arsenal. I think Xavi will achieve the same thing.

It depends. Xavi's experience with Barcelona as a coach is quite short and building a team requires a lot of patience. Obviously, repetitive defeats aren't acceptable. I assume he will be forced to leave once Barcelona fails badly in Europa League. They are one of the favourites teams to win it so losing early or badly by big score might affect his future. Winning La Liga in the other hand might save him.
For Arteta, he had many difficulties with Arsenal previously before getting a team that made City suffers to try get the first place.
Its realistic bad achievement by Xavi with Barcelona after eliminating from Champion League and have to play at Europe League two seasons in a row, no care about how his contribution trough as Barcelona player and failure this season between Europe League or La Liga should be his career over at Barcelona. Not enough reason after many player transfer and Barcelona spent much money to get new player and Xavi still can't give good achievement with trophy at the end season. Have La Liga, Europe League and Copa del Rey have to get one or two trophies if want extended as Barcelona manager, I don't think his position secure if failure at second season give trophies for Barcelona.

Mikel Arteta dismissed rumors that he would coach Barcelona, ​​he confirmed that he was happy with the Gunners' young squad.  however, if he is going to leave the Emirates Stadium. IMO, most likely he is more suitable to replace Pep Guardiola's role at Manchester City. So far, Pep Guardiola is rumored to be leaving the Premier League after his contract expires with The Citizens.  however, it seems Haaland's presence makes Pep will extend his new contract with Haaland's future project.

as for Artera. on several occasions, he delivered. he has big ambitions with Arsenal this season by marrying two Premier League titles and the Europa League.

on the other hand, Xavi's future with Barcelona is reportedly in turmoil after failing to bring Barcelona to the last 16 of the champions league. however, the target has changed. currently, Xavi has stated that he is targeting the Europa League and La Liga trophies. however, if he fails to bring Barcelona to the title this season.
in other words, it is certain that his coaching career with Barcelona will end in dismissal.

One of the factors that Pep Guardiola doesn't want Messi is the age factor in my opinion. However age will affect the performance of a player, all players will experience the same thing. Pep Guardiola is the type of coach who prefers players who are young and mature, I personally see the impossibility of Messi being part of Manchester City. Especially now that Manchester City are in very good shape, so it's better for them to sign young players.

Rumors about this circulated quite loudly after Xavi failed to bring Barcelona to the knockout phase of the Champions League but indeed this could happen if this season Xavi was not able to bring 1 Trophy to Camp Nou so it means this is still long enough to happen considering the season is still quite long .
On the other hand I'm actually not too sure Arteta will leave after his achievements at Arsenal are currently in really good shape.

It is said that De Gea is okay about taking a wage cut and extending his contract with Manchester United now.

This is really good news for Manchester United side. Because I started to think that De Gea would leave the team at the end of the season in case they don't have a solid season again. Manchester United have been really disapppointing for some years. There is some improvement now but I still doubt their performance in the rest of the season. There are still visible problems in the team. If it weren't for De Gea's amazing saves so far they could have even a much harder time in the league. He is one of the key players of the team and they'd better focus on keeping him.
De Gea contract will be expired on June 2023 but until now the management hasn't talking about extended option and actually De Gea is not the player who suitable for Ten Hag strategy but Ten Hag has fully trusted to him this season to guard Manchester United defense so probably in the near future new contract will be disscuss although this season he did several mistakes which makes Manchester United lose but overall his performance was not so bad and in my opinion he deserved to get new contract and actually Manchester United has Martin Dubravka which arrived this summer from Newcastle but this player still not played by Ten Hag this season

De gea is a wonderful goalie that can make unexpected saves for you. He made such type of unexpected saves last week against Westham United. What I don't know is if Ten Hag will rely on De Gea next season to secure his post. Myself I don't trust De gea sometimes because of some careless mistakes that he does and also because he doesn't use his feet very well to help the defenders. Any keeper that has feet control always make the defence even stronger.

I don't think so. Some new coach able to give lots of trophies to the new clubs that being managed. That proves that if xavi doesn't have good result or capability to manage it anymore. The barcelona has been wasting so much money and that's a shame if it could not get even a trophy for this season. You must remember if there are real madrids who can still win la liga anytime other than barcelona itself.

For Arteta, he had many difficulties with Arsenal previously before getting a team that made City suffers to try get the first place.
There's no reason to let arteta leaving from arsenal. It might be good if he has been included in the future list by barcelona but arsenal was still on fire and arteta may not leave from there.
Some arsenal's player already rumoured to be bought by some clubs in the next upcoming transfer season. I think that barcelona shall have replaced him as soon as possible. Loosing in the europa league will become the worst thing for barcelona.
