Barcelona coach, Quique Setien has come out to say that he has not been informed that Arthur will be leaving the club.
Setien simply revealed that the Brazilian just has to stay focused for the rest of the season amid the abnormal circumstances regarding his future.
According to him, Arthur is as important as his remaining players and he would train and travel for the upcoming games this season.
He added that all players who are set to quit the club must concentrate on leaving a good impression before their exit.
His words, “This that is happening is absolutely abnormal. In principle I still have Arthur. He is important like the rest. He will train and he will travel and has the possibility of playing,”
“I hope all this noise does not affect him and that if he plays, he tries to give the best of himself.
“Any player who is in such a situation must make it clear the season is not over, win a title and leave a good impression until the last day he is here.
“I do not take it for granted that he is going to leave. The club has not informed me Arthur is leaving. He will be with us until the last game of the season. If it happens, I will try to convince him to leave a good impression. The most important thing is to be honest until the last day and I am convinced he is.”
“Since he has been with me, he has put a lot of interest in doing what we asked him to do,”
“Maybe he lacked a little continuity. It is not easy to change things in a footballer that other coaches told him were very good. When they tell him it is very good to keep the ball and we come and we want to play two touches, it is difficult.
“Yes, it’s possible he lacked some physicality, but he is on the right track.”
