Nolito’s contract at Barcelona is set to expire at the end of the season and the winger is expected to leave the club.
He told Diario de Jerez: “I have always loved Barcelona and I always will, but I am realistic and above all I want to play. If Madrid would gamble on me, why not, I have to go because I am a professional.
“It is true that is interest from Benfica and other clubs, but today I am not committed to anyone. People say that I have signed for Benfica but I still do not know if I will leave this team.
“Pep [Guardiola] has been good to me and given me confidence. He has been very good to me and I am very grateful, I can have no complaints.”
