FC Barcelona: Jonathan Dos Santos Wants to Remain with Barca

David Villa is not the only member of FC Barcelona happy with the club. Jonathan Dos Santos (in an article reported by EFE and published by Univision) expressed his desire to remain with Barca.

Dos Santos has recently renewed his contract with Barca until the 2014-2015 La Liga season. The contract includes an exit clause of $40 million.

Dos Santos expressed his satisfaction with the new contract with FC Barcalona in the presence of Sandro Rossell (president), Josep Maria Bartomeu (vice president), and Andoni Zubizarretta (sports director). 

Dos Santos recognized that not everything is easy but that he developed professionally and personally with Barca. Pep Guardiola (coach) recently recognized the talents of Dos Santos.

Guardiola declared in an interview (reported by EFE and published by Univision) that Dos Santos is "one of the greatest (footballers)." Guardiola continued by saying that Dos Santos has a high-level style of playing world football that is organized.

It remains to be seen whether Dos Santos will maintain the momentum. Dos Santos is expected to substitute for Keita, who will be in the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012.
