The Chilean has struggled for playing time at the Camp Nou of late, but will remain at the club nonetheless.

“In no case will Alexis leave Barcelona. He has returned from injury and is playing well,” commented Fernando Felicevich to todomercadoweb.es.

“Alexis is staying in Barcelona. He has no reason to leave. He is in the best team in the world. In addition to Barca is Lionel Messi, a player that everyone can learn from.”
