Ben Yedder admits that Barça wanted to sign him in winter

In his research of a '9' that it could relieve to Luis Suárez in the second half of this season, the FC Barcelona​ went until Tie it 1 to study the possibility to incorporate to Wissam Ben Yedder. Already in his moment went out in some means that the culés were interested in the French, but now has been he same the one who has recognised that there were contacts. The ex sevillista has declared that the Catalans have interested by him until in two occasions.

The first, according to him same admits, went the past summer, when the Barça also combed the market in search of an acting forward for the charrúa. "Already to start with, this of the Barça is something that could have sucedido a lot before. The past summer, for example. They collected information on me several times. This winter could have done also. It did not do , it is like this, and it does not suppose that it do more advance", it commented, leaving fall that this train already happened.

In spite of not being able to finish in the Barcelona, the one of Sarcelles showed totally despreocupado and satisfied that a so big team interested by him. "That they wanted to me it shows that I am doing a good work. In spite of knowing of this interest, kept me centred in the professional and focused in my performances with the Monaco. When it arrived the of the Barça took it to me like a plus, like an extra", signalled.

Of his words gives off that if it had been by him, had accepted the proposal blaugrana and right now would be one more in the staff. In spite of this, also leaves clear that in any moment forced or thought in forcing his exit of the Monaco and left the keys of his future to the monegasque club. From the Principality refused any type of negotiation with the Barça, since they had paid 40 million euros by Ben Yedder in summer and was being his big star, by what did not want that it went .

The true is that the French could have been an extraordinary reinforcement for the culés in all the senses. With 29 years, still has 3 or 4 to big level by in front and right now is definitely a '9' of a lot of category. In it Tie it 1 sum 18 goals in 26 parties and in total carries 18 in 32. Besides, it adds him 9 assistances to his so many, by what shows to be more than a goleador. In the Seville did big campaigns in LaLiga and could have been a big signing so much for this course as for the coming.

At the end it arrived Braithwaite like solution of emergency

After the "no" of the Monaco, the Barcelona tried in winter that Aubameyang or Rodrigo arrived to the Camp Nou, but any of the two could finish dressing of blaugrana. The Arsenal denied to speak by the one of Gabon, whereas to the Hispanic-Brazilian finish refusing it the own club because Valencia asked too much. No fichó to anybody then and hardly some weeks afterwards the injury of Ousmane Dembélé forced to close the incorporation of a '9' of urgency. The elected was Martin Braithwaite, that arrived of the Leganés by 18 millions and in the little that has played has left good feelings.
