The winger has also claimed that there would only be one club on the planet he would not play for - the rivals of his boyhood heroes Rosario. "I was close to joining Barcelona in the summer and yet far away at the same time," he told ESPN. "It is hard to complete moves to these clubs. I never lost hope of it going through but in the end, it didn't happen. "My Madrid past wouldn't have been an issue as I'm not a Madrid fan and I always point that out whenever I'm asked about it. "I'm a fan of Rosario and I would never play for Newell's Old Boys but aside from that, I would play anywhere."
