"The World Cup went well for me, and a lot of clubs went to see me. That's something really nice for me. The truth is, with Barcelona my agent told me there was interest. He'll see the options that come."

"For me, it would be a dream to come to this great club if God allows it in the future, but the most important thing right now is focusing on PSV and enjoy it as much as possible," said the Mexican forward.

The PSVEindhovenwinger, who scored 19 goals in all competitions in his first year in European football, will play against Barcelona when PSV travel to the Camp Nou to play the La Liga champions on Tuesday.
