Posted on December 16, 2021 at 1:45 am by DM FC Barcelona had the opportunity to recruit Kylian Mbappé in 2018 before he joined PSG. But the former management had decided to favor the track leading to Ousmane Dembélé. 22 years old, Kylian Mbappé is the strong man of this end of the year on the side of PSG . Author of thirteen goals this season in all competitions, the player hopes to lead his team to victory in the Champions League, before possibly joining Real Madrid . Eager to join Spain in the last summer transfer window, Mbappé is reportedly yet to make a final decision, but the tendency is towards a free start at the end of the season. Real Madrid has made the Parisian player their top priority. But the France international was also in the sights of another La Liga giant. As indicated by the former recruiter of FC Barcelona Josep Moratalla, Kylian Mbappé was in the sights of the Catalan club when he played at the AS Monaco . A player then presented as an element which “makes the difference. With speed, change of pace and the ability to play in any position and goal ”. But the then president Josep Maria Bartomeu had decided to concentrate his efforts on the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé. “Dembélé was then considered more interesting (…) It is the people at the top who have to make the decisions. It is a structural problem. In terms of player detection, the operation was under control, but the problem arose in the rationalization of recruitment, ” Moratalla told Esport3. Finally, Mbappé joined Neymar at PSG in 2018.
