this team and this club. I am really happy. Now It’s time to share it with my family”.
He added: "I never thought about leaving. I’ve always wanted to be here".
Total gratitude
The midfielder, still recovering from the operation on his nose, was
thankful for the education he’s received at Barça: "The club has already done everything for
me. They’ve trained me, I’ve come up through the youth ranks, they trusted me to play
last season in the first team, and they offered to renew my contract”. As from now he made it
clear that: "Now it’s up to me to prove that I can play for Barcelona and help the team to
stay at the top".
Present at the signing of new contract were President Sandro Rosell, Sporting Director Andoni
