Monchu says he has the desire to learn and can adapt to any system.
Although there was interest from other teams, the midfielder chose Girona because they promised him game time.
The Spaniard did consider staying but thought it was the right time to make the shift towards professional football.
“At Barcelona, I felt very comfortable but this year I had to take another leap in my career. I can adapt to any system, as I’m young, and have the desire to learn,” La Masia graduate Monchu has told Marca.
“There was interest and offers from great teams, but what I wanted was to play the maximum number of minutes and Girona was the club that bet the most on me.
“I considered staying but we all decided that the best thing was to make one step further and professional football. That was a separate aspect of what was going on at the club.”
Back in summer, Monchu joined Segunda Division team Girona on loan from Barcelona. So far, the 21-year-old has made 18 appearances for the Catalan side, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
The youngster is proving to be an important player for Girona, having made 16 starts and missing only two matches.
