Paco Alcacer wants to stay with Barcelona next season.

While the former Valencia striker is regarded among the fringe players at Barca to be sold this summer, he has other ideas.

Sport says Alcacer left this week for his summer break convinced he will be returning to Barca for preseason next month.

Strengthening his case is news that no-one from coach Ernesto Valverde's staff has told the player he is no longer required.

For the moment, Alcacer has a clear idea that he will be playing for Barca next season.
