Marc Crosas is off to France on a loan deal with French champions Olympique Lyon.


The 20 year old midfielder who has spent 7 years with Barca wants to export his Blaugrana trained talens to the Ligue 1 so as to add more stabiltiy to the midfield of the French side. Crosas has been a quiet but effectively player whenever he's given the chance. The exicted player wants to reward Lyon for the faith and confidence they have placed in him, and will impress the french aside and its fans for the next five months leaing to the end of the French League season this year. Speaking after the succesful loan agreement was reached, Crosas said:

It is very nice that they have taken an interest in me. It means having as many opportunities as possible, a regular place and the chance to make as much of it as I can. It is very difficult to get a regular place in a side like Barça. My objective at OL will be too have a good season.

Crosas was emotional about leaving FC barcelona even on loan, but encouraged himself with the thought of going to another top club. The youngster said:

I

am leaving the best team in the Spanish league to go to the best in France. They are a top level team and are also in the next round of the Champions League. I will be training with a group of players of a similar level to that at Barça.

Crosas adds that he will like to return afterwrads to feature more prominently in FC Barcelona:

I will be exposed to more experience playing in a foreign league, and I hope to return later on in order to use my talents for the development of football at Barca by making my own contribution.
