His name sounded a lot in the press of barcelona the past season by these same dates, but did not finish to concretise at all seriously. Now, a year afterwards, Sebastián Giovinco breaks his silence in an interview conceded to "Sky Sports 24" in which it confirms the Barcelona interest in his services and explains why said him that no to the signing by the Barça.
"Yes, it is true, in the past, said me that there was an interest of the Barça, but there only would be a recogepelotas. With the three that has in attack (Messi, Neymar and Luis Suárez), had not played at all. It did not interest me never play there because with these three phenomena that mark the difference, even with a leg, had not had space. Therefore it did not have felt to go to Barcelona", explained the forward of the Toronto.
A Giovinco that would have been this fourth forward that so much longed for Luis Enrique and the technical office culé after the refusal of the Celtic to negotiate by Nolito and of the own Barça to do an interesting offer to carry it. Thus Robert Fernández combed the market looking for leading to cost zero and went out the names of the Italian and of Alexandre Duck.
