Barcelona have rejected a £10 million bid from Arsenal for Sergi Samper.
Samper, 19, is a highly rated midfielder who currently plays in Barca's B team - and has attracted interest from a host of Europe's top clubs this summer.
According to reports, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger made a £10m bid for the 19-year-old in the final hours of the transfer window.
El Mundo Deportivo says that the Gunners bid reached the midfielder's buy-out clause, but the Catalan giants refused to let another one of their young stars leave the Nou Camp for the Emirates and rejected the Gunners' bid.
