Josep Maria Minguella again spoke about the chance that Barcelona had to sign Mbappé in the summer of 2017 when he was a Monaco player. However, they chose to sign Dembélé instead.

Josep Maria Minguella again spoke about the statements he made on-air at 'Radio Marca', about the chance Barcelona had to sign the French forward Kylian Mbappé in the summer of 2017, while he was still at Monaco.

The well-known agent said how the choice at that time was between the signing of Dembélé and Mbappé, with Barca finally choosing to sign Dembélé.

"I offered Mbappé to Barca 2 years ago and they signed Dembélé. Barca should have signed Mbappé when they had the chance. They judged Dembélé to be better than Mbappé", Minguella said to 'Radio Marca'.

Since he arrived at Barcelona in 2017-18 from Dortmund, the 22 year old French forward has played 67 games and scored 18 goals.
