Finally, the Argentine-Ecuadorian player opened up about his desire to return to Barcelona Sporting Club, whether on or off the pitch. <strong>“I tried to remain out of it and let it be between the clubs themselves, that he should not stir more flames.”</strong>

“Athletic club (Barcelona) will always stand by us, asking full dedication. Time is running, but I hope [returning] where they will welcome me with open arms, if on the field, better; standing closer or from above; any place they choose for me.”

“With the club you have to give their total dedication. It’s going to take its time and ways, but I hope <strong>I find myself in a position where I can contribute</strong>, whether from within the pitch, as much better with standing closer or above it from where they choose for me.”

Finally, Díaz concludes his speech by reiterating that desire: “With the club, you have to give their full dedication. Time is running but <strong>I hope”</strong> I find myself in a position, anywhere they will welcome me with open arms [a return within the club, from afar or even just being present], whether on the pitch, much better standing closer or above it.</em>

“With the club you have to give their total dedication. Time is running but <strong>in any way</strong>, I hope it finds a new place for me.”
