Dries Mertens has revealed Barcelona were interested in signing him during the summer transfer window. The prolific Napoli forward has also admitted he still thinks about the turn his career would have taken if he'd joined the Blaugrana.
Mertens spoke to Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws (h/t Goal's Stephen Creek) and described how Barca showed interest last summer. However, Mertens also revealed how he felt he'd merely be a backup to Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez had he moved to the Camp Nou.
