The Monaco striker claims he was targeted by the Blaugrana long before he completed a move to Stade Louis II from Sevilla
Wissam Ben Yedder has revealed he came very close to joining Barcelona in the January transfer window, having been on the club's radar since the end of last season.
Ben Yedder was one of the most sought after talents in Europe last summer, after a stellar 2018-19 campaign with Sevilla which saw him post career-best numbers for goals and assists.
Manchester United were among those being heavily linked with the Frenchman, but he ultimately ended up signing a five-year deal with Monaco in August.
