## Resource

Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu reveals they nearly signed Vinicius Junior before Real Madrid snatched him up for €46 million in 2018. Vinicius has since become a star for Madrid, winning multiple titles and scoring over 100 goals. Bartomeu also shares that Barcelona discussed signing Kylian Mbappe from Monaco but ultimately missed out due to PSGs intervention.
