Aliaksandr Hleb has insisted he has no regrets about moving to Barcelona but admits he is not playing as well as he did at Arsenal.
The 27-year-old signed at the Camp Nou from the Gunners last summer but has failed to establish himself as a regular in the Barça side.
Reports have suggested a move to Bayern Munich at the end of the season could be in the offing, while a possible return to Arsenal has also been mooted.
However, Hleb insists he is focused on performing for Barcelona and is not planning on leaving the Camp Nou.
He told a press conference: "I don’t regret signing here.
"Barça are one of the biggest clubs in the world, they give me the possibility to win trophies and I’m learning from this experience day by day.
"The system at Barça is a bit different and I would like to play as I did at Arsenal. What's certain is that I'm not doing as well as I did there.
"It's difficult to explain but it's also taken me a lot to learn Spanish. It hasn't been easy to adapt here. I'm in a team in which practically all the players can be in the starting XI and it's difficult to get playing time.
"This is a new situation for me which I have to learn from. What I have to do is work, continue training so that when the team needs me I can give the best of myself."
