"At this moment, I don't know what my future will bring. The one thing that is worrying me at this moment is the future of my club. I think I still need to make progress. It's flattering to hear your name being linked with big teams. However, to improve you need to have playing time, so that's also something I will take into account. We will see when the season ends. But I am not interested in joining a big club just to be part of it."

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona is closely following Le Mans forward and Ivory Coast international Gervinho (21) ahead of next summer's transfer window.
