Brazil boss Tite has rejected reports of talks with Arsenal.
Reports in Brazil last week claimed Tite had already spoken to Arsenal technical director Edu about a move to north London after the World Cup in Qatar, when he plans to step down from his role in charge of Brazil.
The two Brazilians worked closely together at Corinthians and Tite employed Edu as the national team's general co-ordinator for three years from 2016.
"Sorry, Arsenal. Sorry, Arteta," said Tite. "It is not a situation. It didn't come from us. No, there is absolutely nothing.
"At a time of so much "fake news", information that is not true makes me sad and I hope that this is corrected.
"My family can rest easy because I have dignity and great respect for the Brazilian team.
"My feeling is very sad and I get sad because information is passed to the public that is a lie.
"I tell people who feel identified with me to be calm, because Tite has a personal attitude that values his professional activity and knows of the responsibility with the Brazilian team."
