Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has ignored talk of a potential move to the Nou Camp to succeed Tito Vilanova, who today stepped down as manager of Barcelona. Laudrup is a legend at the Catalan side.
Having taken Swansea to the League Cup title last season, many in Spain are impressed with the former Getafe manager.
"I can't comment on the speculation, it's all just happened today and even for those in the club who maybe knew about the situation, I still think the announcement will have come as a shock," Laudrup said.
"Just a few weeks ago I read he had said he was strong and feeling 100 per cent ahead of the new season, but now he's gone. I don't know what they're going to do so let's see.
"I don't know Vilanova personally but of course I have been following what has happened. It's very sad. I don't know much more than what has been announced tonight.
"I hope he will get fit again as this is only football and life is more important."
