ARSENAL have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Celta Vigo ace Nolito.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the striker in recent weeks over a proposed move.
Reports emerged last week that Arsene Wenger was keen to push a deal through with Joel Campbell set to be offered as part of a swap deal.
But according to Spanish publication Sport, Nolito is ignoring interest from Arsenal in the hope of a return to Barcelona.
The forward is reportedly keen to move back to the Nou Camp and work with Luis Enrique after struggling to have an impact under Pep Guardiola previously.
The 29-year-old has impressed for the La Liga side this season with eight goals in 18 appearances that has seen him the subject of interest from Arsenal and Barcelona.
Nolito, who is valued at around £21million, is contracted at Celta Vigo until the summer of 2019.
