Rafinha: "If I don't play, there's no problem in leaving on loan"

Rafinha: "If I don't play, there's no problem in leaving on loan"

Rafinha has opened the door for a potential exit from FC Barcelona in the case that he does not get playing time. 

The Blaugrana have signed two more midfielders this summer, in Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes, which further complicates the panorama for the Brazilian to have the important role that he wishes.

"I am not thinking about leaving. The truth is that I want to be here at Barça. Logically, if I do not get minutes on the pitch, well it is normal that a player wants to play", he told Catalunya Radio.

He added: "The best thing for a footballer, the normal thing, is to want to be on the pitch. If that doesn't happen here, there is no problem in me going on loan elsewhere. But I will give my all to get playing time at Barça."

Rafinha has already spent a year on loan at Celta in season 2013/14. Luis Enrique, his manager in Vigo, was behind his return to Barcelona but when it seemed he would get more protagonism, he suffered a serious injury that stopped his run in the team. 

Rafinha recovered by the end of last season, and this summer participated in the Olympic Games.
