Sergi Darder assured that FC Barcelona wanted to sign him this summer when the Barça club was looking for a replacement for Sergio Busquets in the midfield. Finally, Oriol Romeu arrived. Darder practically didn’t even think about it because his past in the city’s greatest rival, RCD Espanyol, prevented him from doing so.
“I had the possibility of signing for Barcelona this summer and it’s hard to say no to a team like that, but when I thought about it coldly my head wouldn’t allow it coming from Espanyol. There was not even 1 percent on my part of being able to go.” “Darder said in an interview with Onda Cero.
In fact, he was even consulting people he trusted in the blue and white club, such as the legendary goalkeeping coach, N’Kono. “I spoke with people from Espanyol like Tommy, and my feeling for Espanyol was so great that I wouldn’t allow it,” insisted Darder, who Finally he decided to return to his homeland and sign for Mallorca.
The decision to leave Espanyol
Despite his consideration for Espanyol, the truth is that Darder chose to leave the blue and white team, once the relegation to the Second Division was completed. “I had a very clear decision for my psychological good,” he declared, and admitted that it was difficult for him and that it was a “very hard” few months.
Darder is a starter with a Mallorca team that is not having a good time this season, although it is out of the relegation positions and this Saturday’s victory against Sevilla, with Artá’s team as a starter, gives a lot of oxygen.
