Arsenal will already have a top candidate in mind to succeed Mikel Arteta as manager of Barcelona when the time comes. This is the opinion of former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit, who thinks Cesc Fabregas is an obvious candidate for the Gunners’ position when it eventually opens up.
In an unprecedented quadruple sweep in English football history, Arteta is presently the frontrunner to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup this season. He is also aiming to win his first trophy in six years.
However, former Gunners midfielder Petit thinks it is a question of when, not if, the Spaniard takes over at Barcelona; thus, Arteta’s time in north London may be coming to an end.

Barca would be Arteta’s favourite next move
Even if it is far off in the future, Mendieta has hinted that the Arsenal manager may go from the Premier League to La Liga in an interview with Bet Brothers. “I think we’ll see Arteta managing Barcelona at some point. Once more, there are significant linkages. However, I believe it depends on how he wants to handle his management career—that is, if he wants to be a one-club man or not.
“Is he truly interested in playing football in other nations? To be honest, I think he would be more likely to leave Arsenal and join a foreign team than another Premier League team. Therefore, it goes without saying that if he were to leave Arsenal, his preferred next destination would be Barcelona.
Sincerely, I’m not sure what’s best. He will depart if he prevails. He will depart if he loses. I’m not sure. In the event that he prevails, he may keep adding trophies. This season, Arsenal remains at the top of the Premier League and in every tournament. Trophies are on the club’s horizon, and supporters might not have to wait long to witness their team win one more.
