Real Madrid megastar duo could have signed for Barcelona, claims ex-president

It is El Clasico night tomorrow in La Liga as Real Madrid travel to the Spotify Camp Nou to take on arch-rivals FC Barcelona, aiming to delay their coronation as champions.

While the talk leading up to the game has been dominated by the state of affairs in the Real Madrid dressing room, the players will be aiming to set it all aside and focus on matters on the pitch.

And, all eyes will once again be on Real Madrid’s top superstars, Vinicius Jr., who scored twice against Espanyol last week, and Kylian Mbappe, who is back from injury.

Vini, Mbappe could have signed for Barcelona

Leading up to the big game, former Barcelona president Josep Mario Bartomeu has interestingly revealed that both Mbappe and Vinicius could have signed for the Blaugrana.

In fact, he acknowledged that an agreement was already in place to sign the Brazilian, in particular, before Real Madrid made their move.

“Vinicius interested the club, we spoke with his family and with his agents, and there was an initial agreement,” Bartomeu explained. However, the Brazilian eventually joined Madrid instead.
