Hello everyone, I am Zhang Siyouliu, and I bring you the following today:
Barcelona considered signing Sergi Dardel in the summer, but the Spanish midfielder eventually opted down to join Barcelona and moved to Mallorca. Dardel recently opened up about the reason for his rejection of Barca, saying that his experience with Espanyol made it difficult for him to choose to join Barca, because Barcelona are their rivals. Although Barcelona were interested in him, Dardel calmed down and decided to turn them down.
He spoke to Espanyol's hierarchy as well as his teammates and ultimately decided to stay with Espanyol. After the transfer window closed, Dardel joined Mallorca, while Espanyol are battling relegation. Dardel's decision brought a different fate for himself. At Mallorca, he has not found his ideal form and the team is going through difficult times to become one of the worst performers in La Liga.
Barca, meanwhile, have turned their attention to Oriol Romeu after missing out on Dardel, a low-cost signing that has paid off well. It is worth mentioning that Dardel and Wu Lei were teammates and partners during their time with Espanyol, and their linked goals attracted the attention of fans. Although Dardel chose to leave, he made good memories with the Spaniards. Fans may have different opinions on Dardel's decision to reject Barca.
Some fans may understand his choice, as joining Barcelona is indeed a difficult decision for the Espanyol player. While others may think he missed a rare opportunity, Barca are a big team and it's an honour to play there. In any case, Daldel's decision has been made and he will continue to play for Mallorca and try to help the team relegation. Hopefully he can get back into his form and show what he's capable of.
At the same time, it is also expected that Barcelona can achieve a better performance with the help of Romeu. What do you think of this news?Feel free to leave your views in the comment section.
