Denis Suarez is not intimidated by the prospect of trying to gain first-team opportunities at Barcelona and does not understand why any player would pass up a move to Camp Nou.
Barca activated a buy-back clause to bring Suarez, formerly on the books of Barcelona B, into their squad following an impressive campaign with Villarreal.
But 22-year-old playmaker Denis Suarez believes Barcelona's style will mesh perfectly with his own and he is relishing the chance to make his presence felt.
"Pre-season is going well," he told reporters during Barcelona's training break at St George's Park. "It's different to the ones I had with Sevilla and Villarreal because here we work on the pitch all the time and a player of my style appreciates that.
"[Luis Enrique] demands a lot of us and constantly speaks to us. He has spoken with me a lot and has shown that he has confidence in me.
"I didn't have any doubts as I always wanted to come here. To anyone who does have doubts I would tell them that Barcelona is the best team in the world to play for and to be a part of.
"In the best teams there are always many players for each position. I have come here to help and to compete to play as often as I can. I will try to make the most of my opportunities."
Forward Munir El Haddadi has found such chances to be at a premium but he is not ready to seek a new challenge despite Luis Enrique's ambition to further strengthen his attack.
"Whoever arrives will be welcome because I'm sure they'll come to risk a lot," he told reporters. "I would only leave if the club asked me to go.
"From the first day I came up to the first team until now I have [felt valued]. The club looks out for me, helps me and I am very happy."
Munir added: "I will keep working and will talk about that with the coach. Whatever has to happen will happen.
"Because [I am flexible in position] I don't know what will happen. Obviously I would like [more playing time] and I will give everything I have to earn it."
