I spoke to club about my concept and told them why I want Thiago Alcantara."Thiago is the only player I want, that’s what I told them. It will be him or no one. We have many players, but we need the special (quality) that Thiago Alcantara brings."The club will decide. I told them my opinion. Nobody will leave Barcelona, unless they feel they won’t play much. He wants to play. That’s why I proposed him to the club.”
