Quique Setien, the Barcelona coach, spoke about a number of issues after his side's 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday.
On the agenda was Arthur Melo's future. Talks have taken place with Juventus about a transfer and the Barça coach confirmed it may be affecting his performances.
"Maybe it's affecting him," the Barca coach said. "But I am happy with the work he's doing. He's an important player for us and we're trying to get best out of him. We need all the players.
"In these situations, we try to isolate ourselves from what's [being said]; things we can't control. We will speak with him to keep him focused. I understand it's a complicated situation but we have to be above it."
