Just hours after Jurgen Klopp announced leaving Liverpool, the football world got the news of Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

The coveted former midfielder, who has been at the Barcelona helm for some time, announced that he won't continue as the manager of the Cules beyond this season.

And as the Spaniard leaves the helm, Barcelona are already eyeing to bring back another Spaniard at the club. There are reports that they are pushing to bring in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta next season.

Arteta, who has revolutionized Arsenal since taking over duties from Unai Emery, was also rumoured to leave the Gunners at the end of this season. But now further reports claim that Arteta is going to stay at the club.

But even if take the ifs and buts out, there is a clear indication that Arteta is going to be at Arsenal next summer. And when it comes to a move to Barcelona, there are reasons why the Gunners boss will not join them at the moment.

Arteta loves Arsenal

The biggest reason to rule out a move to Barcelona for Mikel Arteta is because the Spaniard loves Arsenal. In the previous words of Pep Guardiola and from Arteta himself, it can easily be comprehended that the former Arsenal Captain has the Arsenal DNA within himself, and he is determined to take the club to the next level.

We have already seen some excellent changes at the club with the title push last season to the Champions League return in this one, so there is no way that Arsenal's current boss is going to leave the project midway. His name is echoed around the Emirates and the fans have truly accepted him as the right man to take the club forward, hence that's a no brainer.

Barcelona is a Chaos

When it comes to a move to Barcelona, there is a very low chance that Arteta will take the job, not because it is in trouble at the moment, but because Barcelona has been chaos, and chaos for a long time. Xavi said that the job at FC Barcelona is cruel, and we can easily understand what is all about. The club has been struggling with financial fairplay, and there has been open admiration for the European Super League, which is contrary to the vision of Mikel Arteta. So it is only easy to predict that the Gunners boss will not be ready to jump into the cacophony of such negative things.

The Project is not Over

Amid all the love Arteta for Arsenal, he wouldn't have stayed till now, had the results not been there. Mikel Arteta has revolutionised Arsenal since taking over the job. He has implemented some stringent methods which have worked and inspired the young core DNA of the Gunners. And we can see it is bearing fruits. The likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, all have been instrumental in the renaissance and the project is at its upward trajectory. So it is easy to predict that Arteta won't leave his brain child midway and wander around for a new adventure.
