  • Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has dismissed rumors linking him to the Barcelona job, expressing his frustration at the speculation and reaffirming his commitment to Arsenal.
  • Barcelona's financial struggles continue to limit their options for Xavi's replacement, with the club's historic debts of more than €1 billion and financial sustainability regulations of La Liga and UEFA making expensive additions to the squad almost impossible.
