Fresh speculation over Tata Martino's future at Barcelona has emerged.

Former agent José María Minguella, who has close links to Barcelona, revealed the Argentine coach did not attend a meeting to plan next season.

"Barça had a meeting ten days ago to make decisions regarding next season, and Tata said he could not go."

But Martino insisted yesterday there was no meeting: "I wouldn't be sitting here if there had been one and they had left me out."
