"I have to sit down and talk to Villarreal. I feel very happy and eager to continue playing."

The goalkeeper also stated: “The four clubs that have marked me the most; Barça formed me as a person and launched me in La Liga; With Liverpool I reached the peak of my career; In Naples is where I felt most loved , I had especially fun on and off the field, but the regret of not having won the Scudetto remains; and at Villarreal I felt like a footballer for the first time and it is the last stop of my career ."
