Arthur addresses speculation surrounding Barcelona future

Barcelona midfielder Arthur plays down speculation that he could leave Camp Nou this summer.

Barcelona midfielder Arthur has played down speculation that he could leave Camp Nou this summer.

The Brazil international has endured a frustrating 2019-20 campaign, with injuries restricting him to just 16 La Liga appearances, while he has also missed three of his side's seven European matches this term.

The 23-year-old has a contract with Barca until the summer of 2024, but Inter Milan have recently been credited with an interest amid suggestions that the Spanish champions could be open to a sale.

Arthur, though, has insisted that he is 'focused' on his current side and sees himself "wearing the colours" of the Catalan giants "for many years".

"I am proud that my name is being connected with world renowned clubs such as Inter Milan," Arthur told Gazzetta dello Sport. "But at the moment, my focus is on Barcelona. I feel very comfortable at the club, and in the city. I see myself wearing the colours of Barcelona for many years."

The South American joined Barca from Gremio in July 2018 and has made 67 appearances for his current side in all competitions, contributing four goals and six assists in the process.
