Barcelona took my dream away from me: Carles Perez

The Hindu  

Carles Perez has hit out at Barcelona for the manner of his exit and suggested his former club no longer has patience to bed in academy players. Mostly, because of the way it happened," he told Mundo Deportivo "I think they didn't behave well in the end, but I'm grateful to Barcelona. READ | As well as offloading Perez to Roma, Barcelona also sent fellow academy product Abel Ruiz to Braga in a deal worth a reported €8million. "I think about what Marc Cucurella previously said: at Barcelona, you always want to win but don't have the patience with academy products anymore." Perez made 14 first-team appearances for Barcelona, including five LaLiga starts this term, and has not ruled out the possibility of returning to Camp Nou one day.
