Barcelona supremo Joan Laporta wants Mikel Arteta to be the Catalan giants’ next manager.
That’s according to Barcelona-based journalist Adrian Sanchez, who claims that the Arsenal boss has caught Laporta’s eye amid growing pressure on Xavi. The legendary midfielder began his managerial career with Qatari side Al Sadd before making the move back to his former club in November 2021 and led Barca to the La Liga title last season.
