Forward Bojan Krkic has said that leaving the club has not entered his mind despite slipping down the pecking order.

Krkic is considered to be one of the most promising strikers in Spain but has struggled to hold down a place in the starting eleven under Pep Guardiola.

Barcelona are blessed with a plethora of quality marksmen and with another promising youngster, Pedro, grabbing the haedlines recently, the task has become that much tougher for the 19-year-old.

Despite being linked with a number of moves away from the Nou Camp, the player himself denies any desire to leave the club.

"At some points I felt frustrated about not playing, but I never lost the strength to continue. Jumping ship never crossed my mind,"he told Sport.

"Guardiola says I have to keep learning and I always try to make things difficult [for the coach]", he added.

He also does not agree with pundits who say that he cannot link up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"I can play with Ibrahimovic. He's a very different player to me, but we can complement each other perfectly," he said.
