In a recent in-depth interview with the club, the Portugal international spoke about his family's crucial role in his life and move to Camp Nou.
"I didn't want to stress out my father- ultimately, it was a personal decision, though they did play a part as well."
The ex-Valencia player was also full of praise for Real Madrid boss Zidane.
"Zidane was a very important player for me and I consider him a role model to emulate, just like Andres Iniesta, who I now have the pleasure of playing alongside of."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is my international teammate, I respect him a lot, but on the pitch, we are opponents and friendship is left aside."
Andre Gomes is Barca's fourth summer signing following the acquisition of Denis Suárez, Samuel Umtiti, and Lucas Digne.
