Atletico Madrid Midfielder Jorge Resurrección Merodio ‘Koke’, has made an open revelation that FC Barcelona approached him last summer.

Koke,23, who is an academy product of Atletico Madrid has been identified by Barca as a long term successor to Xavier Hernandez.

Coincidentally, he made his official debut as a 17-year-old against the Catalan giants in 2009.

Although, he remain a rumoured transfer target for Manchester United and Chelsea to name a few.

“Last Summer I knew there was an interest from Barcelona in me, But my head was at Atletico Madrid.”

I grew up here (Madrid) and did not have that need to go, i’m very comfortable here and for now I don’t see the need to go.” he told reporters.

If he eventually arrive, there will be a huge cavort at Camp Nou, because of his immense talent.

Should the Madrid born midfielder move or stay at Atletico Madrid as one-club man like Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, John Terry, Ryan Giggs, Xavi- the man he will succeed at Barca?
