Having swapped FC Barcelona's Blaugrana tunic for OM's Marseille, Konrad de la Fuente underlined the positive of his choice to leave Barça for Olympique Marseille this summer.

Author of a great start to the season with two assists, the first against Montpellier and the second during the reception of the ASSE last August, Konrad from Fuente quickly adapted to OM after never really having had a chance at FC Barcelona . Enough to encourage him to permanently leave his training club for OM in the offseason where he has a series of appearances in the Marseille jersey. Asked to comment on his decision, Konrad de la Fuente easily justified this choice which was logical as evidenced by his playing time since the start of the season.

Konrad de la Fuente spoke of his departure from Barça “for six months with my representatives”

“It was I who decided to leave, for six months I had been talking about it with my representatives, being realistic, it was going to be difficult to have interesting playing time in the first team. The difference is there. I played more than 500 minutes, it's only October, I'm 20 years old. At Barça, I probably wouldn't have played so much. It wouldn't have been the same. I don't know what (Ronald) Koeman thought of me. I spent last season with them, but I hardly played (3 appearances with the first team in all competitions, note). I was happy to be there and to train with the best. I learned a lot. It was a good experience “. said Konrad of the Fuente during an interview with Gerard Romero on the journalist's Twitch channel.
