Catalans' head coach Xavi even recorded a video message to the player.

"Hello, Arsen! How are you doing, my friend? I hope everything is good. I hope to see you one day here at Barcelona! Ok?"," Xavi said.

The transfer failed to materialise due to Barcelona's financial fair-play problems, which prevented them from even sending an offer for the player. Xavi was the main initiator of Zakharyan's signing.
