Rafael Márquez returns to Barcelona

The knowledge and experience that Rafael Márquez has is no secret. With his enormous career and his passing through legendary squads, the Mexican is a great reference in the world of football. Exclusively for the podcast En Tus Zapatos de TUDN, the forner footballer revealed that he will return to work in Barcelona after an invitation from Joan Laporta, the brand new president of the culé team. His place will be in La Masia.

"Returning to Spain I will have a talk to close everything. If everything continues as it has been up to now, in July or August I will be able to be part of Barcelona. It is difficult to say no," commented who shone in the central defense.

"The invitation that they are making me can help in my process so that the doors are opened to me in one of the best teams, but especially in one of the best quarries," he added enthusiastically. Márquez has lived in Madrid for seven months and still has a year to go before he is licensed as a UEFA Pro coach.

He was close to signing with Real Madrid

Márquez explained that when he was active in Monaco, he had an offer to sign with Real Madrid, which was close to materializing, although Barcelona finally came into his life, where he made history. "I remember two important offers: one from Newcastle two years after being in Monaco, and the second from Real Madrid, which was very close. We were about to close," he explained.
