Rafinha: I'm forever grateful and will always stay a Cule Barcelona Midfielder returned to Celta Vigo on loan

Rafinha Alcantara has set off for Celta Vigo, but he did not want to leave Barcelona without first saying goodbye to the Catalan side's supporters.

The midfielder returns to Celta, where he played as a child and also during a loan spell in the 2013/14 season, however he grew up in Barcelona's La Masia system and made a total of 90 appearances for the Blaugrana's first team.

"It's time to say goodbye again," Rafinha's tweet read.

"As I said back in the day, I'm forever grateful and will always stay a Cule."

Ha llegado el momento de volver a despedirse.

Before leaving for Celta, Rafinha renewed his contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2021, as his current deal was set to expire next summer. The Galician side will pay his wages for the duration of the loan, while they have agreed to pay a loan fee of up to a 1.5 million euros, though this depends on certain targets being met.
