The paths between Thomas Meunier and Barcelona were very close to coming together, but the economy of the Catalan giants meant that the operation failed and Borussia Dortmund did not give in to their intentions of letting the Belgian leave the club.
If Xavi's side do not move for him in the winter transfer window, the German full-back will not wait for them again, as he has several top clubs interested in signing him. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Manchester United, Milan, Juventus and two London clubs will make him an offer in the coming weeks.
Meunier's contract with Borussia runs until 2024 and the 'Cules' know that, despite the low cost of his departure, they cannot afford to sign a player at this precise moment in time.
For the Belgian's sake, let's hope that the Catalan giants don't do the same to him again, because after the failure of the summer transfer window, the player regretted not having landed at the Camp Nou: "Barça is a train that only runs once".
