Aleix Vidal is determined to make it at Barcelona.
The former Sevilla fullback has found himself frozen out, but friends insist he'll fight for his place.
"Barca signed Aleix for many years," a source told El Mundo Deportivo. "He should settle in this team over the long term.
"He will be a starter for many years at Barca."
Vidal's former coach at Almeria, Lucas Alcaraz, recalled the defender's time in the Greek Second Division with Panthrakikos.
"A player at 21 years of age who was lost in the Greek Second Division and has been able to get to Barcelona when no one has given him anything is as an example of character.
"He will stand up!" said Alcaraz.
