Barcelona are always on the lookout for top young talent, which they can use to eventually bed into the first team through La Masia. Numerous players have been signed from across the world, although they have also missed out on plenty.
It’s now been revealed that one of the players that they failed to sign was Micky van de Ven, who has been making a name for myself at Tottenham Hotspur over the last 14-15 months. Bojan Krkic Sr. has revealed to Carrusel Deportivo that he told Barcelona to sign the Dutch defender, and although a deal had been in place for just €3.5m, it was not executed.

There’s no doubt that was a mistake by Barcelona, as van de Ven has the potential to develop into a world class central defender. However, they already have top-class options in the position, with Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi and Jules Kounde among them.
