Although the Argentinian has left clear that is motivated and committed and that his ambition keeps intact, multiply the rumours that speak of a change of airs, that could produce, if it does not consolidate the project barcelonista, in the summer of 2020.

The last in pronouncing on this subject has been Emmanuel Petit, that has despised to the of Rosario and would not understand that one of his main beaux will throw the rest for ficharle.
