Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists they won't consider any offer from Barcelona for Cesc Fabregas.
Barcelona defender Carles Puyol, an international team-mate of Fabregas, maintains Arsenal are trying to keep hold of the player against his will.
Wenger, however, insists there will be no more dialogue.
"We do not negotiate. If I want to buy your house and you do not want to sell, you do not negotiate with me, that is completely normal."
Wenger, though, fully expects his captain to knuckle down and get back to what he is paid for, regardless of what may be going on off the field.
"There are all kinds of situations, but I believe what happens after is that when a player stays it is about how much he focused on playing football," said the Gunners boss.
"It is always in the interests of the player to perform.
"If he is a champion, he goes on the football and wants to be the best he can. All the rest is a poor excuse for a football player."
