“Hard To Leave” – Pau Prim Bids Emotional Barca Farewell

He’ll always be a culer

Paul Prim has said an emotional farewell to Barcelona as he leaves the club after 12 years at the Camp Nou.

The teenager was once tipped as a potential successor to Sergio Busquets but hasn’t been able to break into the first team at Barcelona due to the intense competition for places.

Prim has now revealed his time is up but admits it’s a very difficult decision to leave the greatest club in the world.

“Dear colleagues, fans and Barcelona family, this message is for you.

“Today is a different day, a day in which the most special stage of my life so far ends. After so many years defending this shield, the time has come to say goodbye. A farewell full of emotions and feelings that I can never describe. It’s hard for me to leave, but I know that everything has a cycle.

“It all started at the Barça school, where I wasn’t aware of everything that was waiting for me. I entered pre-Benjamin at only 7 years old and leave after 12 years, very satisfied with everything I have done and to have completed the dream I had since I was young. “Without a doubt, I felt the weight and pride of carrying this shield on my chest.

“I’m so thankful for the affection I’ve received since the first day I walked in. Thanks to the club for giving me the opportunity to grow in a unique environment. Teammates, thank you very much for making me a better person and football player. And thanks to my family for always being there for me.

“Since I was 20 years old I have been lucky enough to defend this shield, and those who know me, know that I haven’t stopped until my last day. The culer feeling is unique, and wherever I go I will carry it inside me. I will be a culer all my life, wherever I am. Long live Barcelona and long live Catalonia.”

It’s not clear yet where Prim will play his football next season. There has previously been talk of a move to Al-Sadd – the Qatari club previously managed by Xavi.
