Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez has insisted that he will remain at Barcelona next season.

It had been suggested that the former Udinese midfielder would seek pastures new after a difficult campaign with the club last term, but the 24-year-old has vowed to battle for a spot in the team.

"The first thing is to have a good pre-season, then fight for a spot in the team every day," he told reporters at a press conference.

"I trust in my abilities as a player, the club told me they are counting on me and I will stay to keep helping the team.

"I don't care if I play on the wing or in the middle. There is no difference."

Napoli have recently been linked with a move for the attacker.
