The Catalan technician left clear that has not had any contact with the Barça and desmarcó of this interest. However, also it left an open door to what can happen in the future. "There is not absolutely at all with the Barça, there are not contacts of any type. My aim is to fulfil my agreement to the end. But they can arise a lot of circumstances on the way, clear", aimed.

These words, in spite of recognising that it has not negotiated at all with the Barcelona, leave clear that it could be opened to the possibility to take the bench culé if they arrived it to him to pose.
