Keirrison hasn't given up on his Barcelona career.

The Brazilian is currently playing on-loan with Santos and has never appeared for Barca, instead spending last season away with Benfica and Fiorentina.

But he says: "My desire is to return to Barcelona someday, back to Europe and succeed there. I've always wanted, but I know I must have patience.

"There is no need to rush, I'm still young."
