NEW BARCELONA COACH Tito Vilanova has refused to comment on the Catalans’ alleged interest in Arsenal midfielder Alex Song.
Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta recently voiced their admiration for the Cameroon international when asked about his qualities.
But the newly-appointment coach of the Catalan giants feels discussing a potential transfer would show a lack of respect towards Arsenal.
“I prefer to not talk about players that are not part of the Barca team. I think it is disrespectful to other teams if we talk about players that are not part of Barcelona,” Vilanova told reporters.
“Whoever comes must be a good player, that is what is important. There is no rush.”
Song, 24, has developed into an important first-team member at the Gunners since joining them from Bastia in August 2005. His contract with Arsenal runs until the end of the 2014/15 season.
