‘The opportunity can come again’ – Gideon Mensah not giving up on dream Barcelona move

Ghana left-back Gideon Mensah remains hopeful that his dream move to Barcelona could still happen, despite a failed transfer attempt five years ago.In 2019, while at Red Bull Salzburg, Mensah was offered a loan move to Barcelona, where he would serve as Jordi Albas understudy.However, news of the deal leaked prematurely, breaking the confidentiality agreement.This caused the transfer to collapse, leaving Mensah devastated and reflecting on the missed opportunity that could have transformed his career.”I couldn’t resist thinking about the next flight to Spain,” Mensah told Flashscore.The next day I just saw the news everywhere in Ghana that Barcelona wants me. So, I called my agent and asked him what happened to not saying anything to anyone. The agent also said he doesnt know how the news got out.Nobody knows what’s going to happen in the future. The opportunity to play for Barcelona can come back again.Currently, Mensah plays for French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre and has earned nearly 30 caps for Ghana’s Black Stars.
