When Neymar left FC Barcelona in the summer of 2017, the Spanish giants had thrown their love over the Brazilian's current teammate and French world star, Kylian Mbappe.

According to the former sports director of the club Javier Bordas to the newspaper Mundo Deportivo, where he reveals that the club had a realistic chance of bringing the French prodigy to the Spanish.

> "When we were about to sign the agreement with Dembélé, Minguella called me to tell us that Mbappé was within reach".

Kylian Mbappé switched to PSG from Monaco in 2018, where he joined the club for as much as €101 million, which was 150 million more than the amount that Barcelona could have paid for him.
