Speaking from the Spanish national team camp ahead of tomorrow’s friendly against Egypt, the 27-year-old was blunt about how he’d handle a call from the Camp Nou.
“If those situations arrive, they are difficult to reject,” he admitted. “I would have to consider it. It’s not just me, I also have to think about my family.
Between all of us, we would decide what is best for us. Right now I’m not thinking about that. If it comes, it will come, and we’ll see what decision is made.
” Life in London has treated him well, and from the outside looking in, he seems genuinely settled at Chelsea . He described his Premier League stint as a great life experience. But he may be feeling the inevitable pull of his home country.
