Arthur insists he is staying at Barcelona amid Inter Milan speculation

Barcelona midfielder Arthur rubbishes speculation over his future amid reports linking him with Juventus, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur.

Barcelona midfielder Arthur has rubbished speculation linking him with a move away from the club when the transfer window reopens.

Juventus, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur have all been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old, and reports earlier this week suggested that Barca were open to talks over his future.

Arthur admits that he has been flattered by the reported interest in him, but insists that he has no intention of leaving Camp Nou any time soon.

"There'll always be rumours, but I'm honestly really clear about the fact that the only option I'm interested in is staying at Barcelona," the Brazilian is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I'm really sure and relaxed about it. I feel very much at home here and thank the club and the coaching staff for the faith they've placed in me. That's yet another reason that makes me totally certain that all I want to do is stay here.

"The rumoured interest from big clubs is always flattering for anyone - and it's a good sign - but my mind is totally focused on being here for many years to come. Barca is the club I've always wanted to be at, and I want to remain an Azulgrana for a long time to come; that comes above everything else.

"Every day I feel more at home here; in the team, around the club and in the city. I also love the people and the culture here and really feel the fans' support. I'm 100% focused on working and want us to get back and playing whenever we can, because I'm raring to continue improving here and fighting for more silverware in a Blaugrana shirt."

Arthur has been limited to 16 La Liga appearances this season, scoring three goals and creating three more.
