Argentina striker Hernan Barcos says he intends to stay with Palmeiras in 2013 despite the team's relegation in the Brazilian league.
Barcos said Wednesday ''only a huge offer'' from another club would force him out of Palmeiras next season. The Brazilian team says the buyout clause on his contract is ?20 million.
Barcos led Palmeiras in scoring with 28 goals in 2012, becoming one of the few players who escaped criticism from fans after the team was relegated.
Barcos had expressed concerns about staying with Palmeiras in the second division because his goal is to play the World Cup with Argentina. He has been constantly summoned to his country's national team.
Despite relegation, Palmeiras will play in next year's Copa Libertadores because it won the 2012 Brazilian Cup.
