The player has now said, in quotes carried by Marca: “I always like to be on the agenda of one of the best teams, but I have a contract until 2023 with Sevilla.
“My agent will take care of whether to do it or not. For now I cannot, and I do not, want to get involved in those things.
“At Sevilla there are a lot of top players. If I want to play for Sevilla I have to work against the competition, otherwise I will always have to be from one place to another.
“My representative helped me a lot when it came to leaving Seville. He convinced me to leave, to have minutes in La Liga and that is what has come the best for me.
“Comparisons with Neymar? He is one of my favourite players. I find it very crazy to be compared to Neymar.”
