Barcelona striker rules out exit

26 giu 2017

Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer is full of praise for his starting 11 competitors Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, despite the trio keeping the 23-year-old on the substitute’s bench, according to Spanish publication Macca via Goal.

The Spaniard moved to the Nou Camp 12 months ago for a fee reported to be £26.5m but struggled in the intial stages of the 2016/17 season, before making an impact at the latter end of the season.

The former Valencia man said: “Did I ever think about leaving Barca? Never, and I don't plan to leave.”

“It is very complicated and I have to work day to day to be prepared when [I have] the opportunity to play.

“I feel privileged to participate and I hope I will not get out of it for many years. I'm very happy.

“To tell people that I played with Leo, Luis and Ney is something that few players can say. The images that I can have with them will be very nice for the future."
The forward scored eight times in 17 outings for the La Liga giants.
