Ghanaian defender Gideon Mensah has revealed Barcelona indeed showed interest in signing him during the summer transfer window.
After fine performances for Red Bull Salzburg against Chelsea and Real Madrid in pre-season games, the 21-year-old became subject of transfer speculations, with reports indicating a move to the Blaugrana, where he would start out with the reserves.
Ultimately, the move never materialised as the Ghana U23 man, who was also linked to Scottish giants Celtic, headed for Belgian outfit Zulte Waregem on loan for the 2019-20 season.
