"I am looking forward to the start of the season to help the team."

He continued: "In the club there are many people who have helped me a lot. The first three years were very difficult for me . Now I have the confidence of everyone and I am much better.

“Staying was always my first option. I told the president and the coach. It's been a long time, but now everyone is happy. I'm looking forward to the season starting. To give everything and help the team win titles. Barça has to fight for the Liga and the Champions League. Winning the Champions League is a dream for me and I'm going to give everything to achieve it."
