Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has played down reports linking him with a move to Barcelona by revealing that he is in negotiations with the Gunners over a new contract.
Monreal is reportedly being monitored by Barcelona, who only currently have one senior left-back at their disposal in Jordi Alba.
However, Monreal stressed that he is happy at Arsenal and hinted that he is likely to remain at the club.

As reported by The Evening Standard, Monreal said: 'At the moment we are talking with the club. I've always said I am really happy, I feel very happy playing for Arsenal.
'I came six years ago. I have a good relationship with them. We are in contact in any moment so don't worry about that. I am happy here. That is the most important thing.'
Monreal's current Arsenal contract expires in June 2019, although there is an option for him to extend for a further year.
Since joining Arsenal from Malaga in January 2013, Monreal has made 215 appearances for the Gunners, with only Aaron Ramsey and Laurent Koscielny having played more games for the club out of the current squad.
The defender may be 32 years old but he has no intention of retiring in the near future.

Asked about the possibility of playing into his forties, Monreal said: 'That is my idea, that is what I want. We will see what happens but I feel good.
'My idea is to play football until my body says 'Nacho, so sorry but that's the end'. But I think it is far [away]. I hope so.
'You never know because your body, sometimes you start with some problems, some injuries and you can't continue giving 100 per cent.
'But at the moment I feel good so I am not thinking of my retirement.'
In addition to Monreal, there are a host of other Arsenal players whose contracts expire next summer, with Aaron Ramsey, Petr Cech, Danny Welbeck and Stephan Lichtsteiner also falling into that category.
Arsenal return to action in the Premier League on Saturday when they travel to face Newcastle.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
