Joselu: I've told Lucas Perez not to join Barcelona Barcelona Earmarked for Blaugrana move

Lucas Perez has been earmarked for a move to Barcelona, yet his Alaves teammate Joselu has warned him against it.

Barcelona are in the market for an emergency signing to replace the injured Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez, and the former Arsenal man is one of the names on their list.

Perez and Joselu have formed one of the fiercest strike partnership in LaLiga Santander, with nine goals each, a tally bettered only by Leo Messi and Luis Suarez.

That is why Joselu feels that moving to the Camp Nou wouldn't be wise for his teammate.

"There are many cases of players who have not been playing much and then have resurged at Alaves," he told MARCA Radio.

"I've told Lucas that there is no place like Vitoria.

"You cannot go to places like Barcelona," he added.

Such is the good form of Joselu that a Spanish national team is not out of the question, and it's something he doesn't want to rule out.

"For me, the national team is a dream which I'm still to fulfil," he stated.

"They say that dreaming is free, so why not?"
