Last updated : 14 July 2011 By Team Talk

Osvaldo, who has been linked with moves to Tottenham, Fulham and Atletico Madrid this summer, has already started training with Espanyol in preparation for the coming campaign.

And the Argentina-born forward claims he has no intention of leaving Barcelona.

"I'm happy to be here," he told El Mundo Deportivo.

"I'm only thinking about Espanyol and it shows that I want to stay; I'm focused on the work here and on the team."

And Osvaldo, 25, says he would like to show his commitment to the club by taking over as captain from retired midfielder Ivan de la Pena.

"I would like to be (captain) in order to show that I want to stay," he said.

"But that is for my team-mates to decide; they are the ones who should choose.

"I feel very identified with this team and I'm very committed to the project - I would love to be captain."
