Ismaila Sarr: “I chose Rennes over Barça; I wanted to play”

Ismaila Sarr has granted an interview to the official Watford media, in which he has surprised by telling how he rejected Barcelona in 2017. According to his version, the Blaugrana club made him an offer, but he himself decided not to accept it and to do so with that of Rennes, of Ligue 1.

The attacker, with a market value of 27 million euros, is being a prominent name in the Premier, with five goals and four assists in the 18 games played. “It is true that I chose Rennes over Barcelona and made this decision because I did not want to go to Barcelona to sit on the bench or play for team B. I wanted to play, I really wanted to play and that's why I chose to go to Rennes“, Explain.

Who knows if he had seen his projection slowed down in case he chose Barcelona before the Rennes offer. At the moment, it seems that he took the right course. His performance in France led him last summer to sign for Watford for 30 million euros. In the Premier already shines and, at 22, points to one of the young promises with the longest travel in England.
