Dear Cules,
When I came to La Masia at 13, I was only a boy who had begun to kick the ball in Valencia and a boy who loved football. I left everything I had to come to Barcelona and fulfill my dream and the dream of many, playing at FC Barcelona. Now at 20 years old, and having played in different blaugrana youth categories, I changes houses to start a new phase at the biggest Club in Portugal, Benfica, who has trusted me and has given me the golden opportunity to play with the elite.
These have been some wonderful years, in which Barça formed me not only as a player but also as a person, giving me values that will serve me for the rest of my life. Therefore, I wish to thank you sincerely, for the love and the affection I have received. I have always tried to defend the FC Barcelona shirt with pride and passion, giving everything I had in each match, enjoying the successes achieved and suffering the most from the defeats.
Before I leave, I would like to thank my teammates, directors, coaches, personnel at the club and the fans for having supported and helped in everything I needed and for having made me spend seven and a half unforgettable years in Barcelona. I would have liked to have been able to continue my journey until the last station, but I am happy to be at a large of Europe like Benfica, which has placed its confidence in me.
And to all the Cule family, as a blaugrana fan, I wish you all the best for the future. I leave many friends in Barcelona and I am sure that this great team is going to make us live many more joyful moments.
I will miss you all.
