In fact, since it returned the football after the pandemia has participated in 99 of the 111 parties that has contested the club, leaving clear his importance and his good rhythm of game, something that calls a lot the attention of the Barça.
His polivalencia allows him work alone or accompanied with double pivote, having the tactical intelligence to exert properly the defensive and offensive tasks in the zone more transitada of the field. Besides, it transmits security and can start from the bottom to direct the offensive game. It is a 'todoterreno' that would come very well to the Barcelona staff.

At present it is of 60 million euros, but the directive of the 'txuri-urdines' already is trying negotiate an enlargement in his bond with a much higher clause, since they understand that the ones of Joan Laporta could drive an advanced to hire him next summer.
