Asked about a rumour that Barcelona has offered Arsenal the return of Barcelona attacker and Belarus international Alexander Hleb (27) in exchange for the transfer of Arsenal winger and Dutch international Robin van Persie (25), Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has said at a press conference that he's not aware of that:"Hleb hasn't been offered. Like I already said recently, I didn't yet speak with the sports department about the incoming and outgooing transfer for next season."
Asked about his situation at Barcelona, Hleb meanwhile seemed to suggest in an interview with the official Uefa website that he could be looking for a move in the summer if he doesn't get more playing minutes: "Of course I want more time on the pitch. I will fight for a place in the starting eleven until the end of the season. We will see what might happen in the summer if I am unsuccessful, but I do not want to sit on the bench."
