Ramon Planes says Barcelona wanted to sign Dusan Vlahovic and Manuel Locatelli

Former Barcelona technical secretary Ramon Planes has been talking about players who almost signed for the Catalan giants during his time at the club.

Planes arrived at Barca in 2018 but left his role at the end of last year. He’s largely credited with bringing players such as Pedri and Ronald Araujo to the Camp Nou.

The former secretary says that Dusan Vlahovic, Manuel Locatelli and, unsurprisingly, Lautaro Martinez were all players that the club had in their thoughts.

“Dusan Vlahovic is very good. Two years ago we thought about a loan, we were interested in that but it was not possible,” he said.
