Barcelona tried to sign both Morata and Courtois, claims says former vice-president Mestre

The duo have represented both Madrid sides and Chelsea, but could have plied their trade at Camp Nou if the Blaugrana had had their way

Former Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre has revealed that the club has attempted to sign both Thibaut Courtois and Alvaro Morata in recent years.

Belgium international goalkeeper Courtois was a target in 2013 while the Belgian goalkeeper was still at Atletico Madrid before he left for Chelsea and, eventually, Real Madrid

Morata, meanwhile, was eyed during the January transfer window of 2019 before agreeing a move from Chelsea to Atleti.
