Bartomeu rejected chance to sign Alphonso Davies because he is Canadian

Josep Maria Bartomeu reportedly turned down the chance to sign Alphonso Davies for Barcelona when he played in MLS.

Bayern Munich bought the left-back from the Vancouver Whitecaps for 10 million euros in 2019 and he was instrumental in knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League in Lisbon.

"[Hristo] Stoichkov spoke to Bartomeu about Davies months before Bayern came on board," journalist Luis Omar Tapia wrote on Twitter.

"His response was: he is Canadian, no thanks."

After an impressive breakthrough season in Germany, Davies extended his contract with Bayern until 2025 earlier this year.
