Thomas Meunier says Barcelona wanted to sign him in January

Borussia Dortmund full-back Thomas Meunier says Barcelona tried to sign him in the January transfer window.

Meunier says he even spoke to Jordi Cruyff about the possibility of a move but quickly found out Dortmund were not interested in letting him leave.

“It could have been done… Barcelona were looking for a reliable right-back, someone who was physically strong, complete and who could be dangerous in the attacking zones, for an acceptable price, given their financial situation,” he said. “I fit that profile, those parameters. I showed it this season too.
