Europe: Ghanaian defender Gideon Mensah amidst FC Barcelona interest this summer

Ghana youth defender Gideon Mensah has confirmed that he was approached by FC Barcelona during the summer transfer window

According to the defender, the Spanish giants failed to make an official bid to his club Red Bull Salzburg after holding talks with him earlier

‘Yes it was true but the only thing that will keep people doubting was they never came to Red Bull Salzburg to make a proposal but I had a call from one guy [agent] that they are working on this for me and that it was true and they had to make a board meeting’’ the young talented defender said in an interview with FMIG TV

“The next day I saw news on the Internet. One guy sent it to me from Ghana and I opened it and it read Gideon might go the Barcelona B and trained with the first team and I called this agent and asked ‘‘Did you tell anybody about this move?” He was like No and then he called and said the story was also circulating in the Spanish press because there was one scout from Barcelona who published the news out already

”The only hitch was that they (Barcelona) didn’t come to Red Bull”

Gideon Mensah is currently on a loan at Belgian club Zulte Waregem from Red Bull Salzburg
