Pinto hoping to play his way to new Barcelona deal

José Manuel Pinto hopes to play his way to a new deal at Barcelona.

Pinto is set to put himself in the shop window in the coming weeks with Victor Valdes ruled out due to injury.

"Would I like to extend my contract? Of course I would. I'm very happy here. I feel part of a family," he said.

Pinto kept a cleansheet for victory over Granada and added: "I'm happy with a win and with the grain of sand I brought to the win. I know it'll be tough to take over from Valdes, but I think I did okay. I dealt aright with the few things I had to do -playing gives you confidence."
