Barcelona forward Bojan has reiterated his desire to stay with the Blaugrana and continue his development under coach Pep Guardiola.
With the emergence of Pedro and the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter last summer, Bojan has found himself very much on the periphery and been linked with a number of moves away from the club.
"At some points I felt frustrated about not playing, but I never lost the strength to continue. Jumping ship never crossed my mind,” the 19-year-old admitted to Sport.
Bojan continues to find his first-team opportunities limited and has appeared in just over half of the Barca’s La Liga fixtures this season, but the Spain international insisted he was listening to Guardiola.
"Guardiola says I have to keep learning and I always try to make things difficult [for him]," he revealed.
Finally, he disputed claims that he could not play up-front with Ibrahimovic.
"I can play with Ibrahimovic. He’s a very different player to me, but we can complement each other perfectly,” he concluded.
