The Camp Nou club is thought to be keen on a deal for the 29-year-old but the Nice star insists he will not lose focus on his current team.

Hatem Ben Arfa has denied heading to Barcelona to hold advanced talks over a free-transfer move to Camp Nou.

France international Ben Arfa has stolen headlines in Ligue 1 this season, scoring 17 goals in 33 games in his maiden season for Nice.

That form has prompted interest from across Europe, with Ben Arfa only tied to a short-term deal at the Allianz Riviera, and Barcelona is reportedly keen to bring the winger to Spain.
