When asked if he would be interested in joining Real Madrid, Joaquin's answer was emphatic - 'no'. The Betis winger also said he had no designs on joining Barcelona. "Barcelona are a club with great players and aspires to many things, but right now they're very far from my thoughts," he said.
Do you have a link? I'm not so sure he means he is writing off either club, but is letting everyone who cares know his concern right now is to help Betis.
Joaquin has said enough times that he feels like a Madridista. He has also said that if and when he leaves Betis, Madrid is the only Spanish club he can play for, and that he's proud to be called the new Figo. So even if he isn't planning to move now, trust me, it will happen eventually!
