According to quotes via ESPN FC, Amico said: “He refused, one year ago, the opportunity to sign a loan with Barcelona because he loves to stay in Toronto.”
“He wants to win with Toronto.”
And now, the 30-year-old player himself has now revealed why he didn’t want to move. His reason was the obvious lack of game time, but he goes on to say Neymar, Messi and Suarez would have started ahead of him even with one leg.
Remember this was one year ago, and Barcelona already had the MSN who were in the form of their lives.
Giovinco told Sky Sports Italia: “It’s true, in the past there was interest from Barcelona. But I’d have been a ball boy there.
“With those three stars in attack, I wouldn’t play at all.”
“I wasn’t interested because I wanted to play. Neymar, Leo Messi and Luis Suarez would’ve played even with one leg and still made the difference. So there was no point in me being there.”
