AS Monaco star and reported Chelsea transfer target Bernardo Silva is said to have come close to signing for Barcelona last summer. Elsewhere, former Fulham striker Leroy Rosenior has advised Celtic starlet Moussa Dembele to spurn the Blues in favour of Arsenal.

According to Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo (h/t Calciomercato.com's Edo Dalmonte), Barcelona would have signed Silva during the summer of 2016 had Arda Turan been sold, freeing up the cash needed to bring the Portugal international to Catalonia.
