Meunier confirms Barca wanted to sign him in summer, explains why it did not happen

"Last summer, Barcelona were looking for a proven wing-back, a physically strong, complete player at an acceptable price given their financial situation. I fit their profile. But Borussia Dortmund told me 'sorry, you cannot leave'," Thomas Meunier has told Het Laatste Nieuws, via SportBild.

Barcelona reportedly considered swapping Sergino Dest for Thomas Meunier in the summer. However, Borussia Dortmund refused to let the Belgian go. In the end, the Catalans went for Hector Bellerin who was more affordable.

Meunier has registered 11 goal contributions in 73 matches for Borussia Dortmund since 2020. The 31-year-old's current deal with the Bundesliga side expires in July 2024.
