And yet the Spanish club continues to diligently look around the transfer market. The Catalans still have a professional in mind BVB . Die Zeitung ' Sport reports that the club are once again considering signing Thomas Meunier.
In winter, FC Barcelona already had the 30-year-old on their wish list. However, the Dortmund team did not agree to a transfer deal. This would have consisted of a loan with a subsequent purchase option.
Apparently, the Catalans have not given up. According to 'Sport', they want to put ten million on the table for Meunier. However, there is a problem with this. BVB want more for their right-back, 15 million euros. Barça could play into the cards that Thomas Meunier is probably not averse to a change.
