Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed the Spanish champions have opened talks with Valencia over striker David Villa.
"I think I would like to go to Barcelona, whether or not they want me is another thing."
However, the Spain international - who has a long-term contract with the Gunners - also stressed: "I don't know when it will happen. I am happy at Arsenal and I am not in a rush to leave."
But he added: "Before I leave for the World Cup I want my future sorted out because it benefits nobody if I go into the tournament with something else on my mind."
Asked about the future of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who joined Barca last summer from Inter Milan in a deal which saw Samuel Eto'o and a fee head in the opposite direction, Laporta replied: "He has a contract with us. We are satisfied."
Ibrahimovic scored 21 goals in all competitions in his first season with Pep Guardiola's side, although it had been reported the Catalan giants were keen to offload the Sweden international.
Another Barca frontman does look set to leave the Nou Camp, however, with Thierry Henry seemingly on the verge of a move to Major League Soccer.
"It's something we are talking with him about," Laporta said.
"We are working on this and what we are doing is reconciling the interests of the club and the player."
