"But some people don't tell me the truth, they say different things. For me, it's important to always be clear and tell the truth, and maybe that's the problem for some people. In the end, I know that something not so good happened to me... and I felt like it might be the right time." To leave Bayern Munich and join Barcelona.

Everything that happened in the last weeks before my departure from Bayern Munich was greatly influenced by the management's policies. The club tried to find an excuse to sell me to another club, because perhaps it was difficult to justify it to the fans. I had to accept That's even though he carried a lot of lies and nonsense around me. In the end I know the fans still support me, even at this time."
