The Spanish U-21 superstar released a statement revealing how the move to Chelsea didn’t materialize, stating that it is God’s plan.
“I had a very difficult summer. We had a really bad time because, in the end, everyone knows that I was close to signing, but it’s true that if it didn’t happen, it was for a reason, because God didn’t want it.”
“I’m also very grateful to Porto for giving me the opportunity when things looked at their worst, and I’m very happy with where I am now. I’ve left the past behind, and now I’m focused on what’s coming to me.”
The 20-year-old talented striker had been a long-term target for the Chelsea side. There was an agreement in place for the striker to join the Chelsea team.
