Valverde says Barcelona couldn't have signed Mbappe

Mbappe has been sensational this season so far

After reports of Mbappe wanting to choose Barcelona over PSG hit the streets, the Barcelona manager has come out and revealed that the Catalans had no chance of signing Mbappe.

"I don't know what to say to you. There's always talk about a lot of players"

"To my knowledge, we couldn't have signed him. But I don't know, no idea. I guess not, because he's not here."

"Obviously, you always are aware of the market, but my idea is to work with the players that are already here, because they are the ones who have to push Barcelona."
