AS Monaco forward Keita Balde says he “owes everything” in his football career to Barcelona and wishes to play in Spain one day.
Born in Spain, Balde grew up at Barca’s La Masia academy where he learnt his football before starting his professional career with Lazio in the Serie A.
He made his Serie A debut as an 18-year-old against Chievo Verona in 2013 and completed three more seasons with Lazio before switching to Monaco.
Having never tasted La Liga football in his life, the Senegal international wishes to play in the country of his birth but has not mentioned a return to Barcelona.
