Rafinha insists he'll fight for his place at Barcelona

Rafinha insists he's happy to fight for his place at Barcelona.

Rafinha's future is unclear, particularly due to his injury history and the arrival of Frenkie de Jong, but the 26-year-old is remaining calm.

"I have a contract with Barcelona," he stated.

"Last year, in this very situation, I stayed here. I have a contract and I'm very calm.

"I've come back from an injury and what I want to do most is train with my teammates.

"I trust myself a lot and if I am okay, the opportunities will come."

However, the midfielder left the door slightly ajar in relation to a possible departure.

"I went to Italy [on loan to Inter], for example, and I had a great time," Rafinha noted.

"I know both leagues [LaLiga Santander and Serie A] and I've adapted to both.

"I wouldn't have a problem going to any team."
