Bojan Krkic had the chance to quit Barcelona during the winter market, it has been revealed. El Mundo Deportivo says Barca granted Krkic permission to speak with Olympique Marseille and Hoffenheim last month, but turned down both approaches.

Ajax also made contact after selling Klaas Jan Huntelaar, but again Krkic rejected the chance to move away on-loan as he wants only to play for Barcelona.
