In recent days, midfielder Dixon Arroyo, who last season played for Inter Miami where he played alongside Argentine star Lionel Messi, was announced as a new addition to Barcelona SC.

The football player, they say from the club, arrives as a free agent and has therefore signed a contract for three seasons. On Thursday afternoon, he traveled to the United States to join the pre-season run by the team coached by Uruguayan Diego LΓ³pez.

β€œI was happy to play with Leo Messi, now I’m thinking about Barcelona SC. Like every player, happy to come to a big club,” said the footballer.

Arroyo, who was with Emelec before signing for the MLS team, asked for support from the fans of the Canary Islands, revealing that he could have continued at Inter Miami, but his decision, due to family problems, was to return to Ecuador.

“To the yellow fans who believe in us and support us. There was an option to renew with Inter Miami and I was looking for the benefit for myself and my family,” Arroyo concluded. (D)
