I have seen that several English teams are interested in me I want to stay at Barcelona and I am already in negotiations for signing my new contract. I have always wanted to stay at Barcelona and play in the first team. I come from the youth system of Barcelona and I admire this club so much. Barcelona has given me absolutely everything since I have arrived here. This is my first season with the first team and I am in satisfied at being able to play some minutes in a team with players that have a great quality.
