Asked about the rumours linking him earlier this summer with a move to Barcelona (read more here), Bayern Munich left winger and Dutch international Arjen Robben (25) has confirmed in an interview with Dutch television channel Eredivisie Live that Barcelona was interested:
"There was interest. I just think that it would have been impossible. I'm afraid that Real Madrid would never have let me go to Barcelona. But that's all history. I am glad to play at Bayern Munich now."

Good for you,robben...
You never know. Barcelona should have made a move if they were really interested. I believe Perez would had no problem letting him go for the right price.
There was this cartoon earlier this summer that showed Voldano telling Florentino, "Barcelona is interested in Huntelaar. What should we do?" and Perez said,"Just bid 20 million over what they bid!"
Now, if we were really serious about Robben, all that bullshit that we heard last season about him being as good as Messi would resurface and they would jack up his price to...who knows?
"being as good as Messi"
Robben himself came and said that Messi is better. So no more mentioning of that, nobody believed it.
Robben-Eto'o-Messi that would have been THE BOMB. All that movement, with Iniesta coming from midfield, Alves on the right wing, maybe Maxwell on the left wing, would have driven every defense totally crazy.
I am getting so tired of people like yuti. Stop complaining about our team, it is fantastic, Henry-Ibra-Messi will be incredible.
Robben is so selfish
I'm not complaining about our team, I'm just given my opinion about another line-up.
I am getting so tired of anonymous people who cannot deal with the fact that not everybody has the same opinion as them. If you don't like to read other people's opinion, don't read the comments.
We have the line-up we have at the moment, and we should support them, instead of putting down our players. Eto'o won't be back, he is history, forget about him now. We have a super team, World class players on basically every position. And Iniesta will be back to the next match. It is going to be marvelous.
I DON'T complain about our team, I DON'T ask Eto'o to come back, I JUST say that Robben-Eto'o-Messi would have been the bomb in my opinion. That has nothing to do with not backing the current team.
I agree with yuti
Robben is clearly not as good as Messi, but he is still a fantastic payer and would do brilliantly at Barca. Maybe Bayern will sell him to us in a year or two....
I hope he comes next season we have a good relationship with Bayern that could help and I got a feeling he would like to play for Barca maybe I see him as the new Crujff I say we should either get Robben Ribery or Robinho
hey barca nike,
I'm starting to get annoyed comments like the made by you
how is robben any more selfish than other goal scorers
how do u know he's selfish have you been sleeping with him?
robben is an awesome player so fast and agile bu sadly i dont think he was given a good enough chance at madrid saying that though i dont think he would have been given a good chance at barca either....
as much as i would have liked him to play at barca (he is one of my all time fave players)
he is much better off at at west/euro team like bayern munich

yikes really?? whoa glad it didnt happen haha. i wanna see dutch players in barca but not robben ew i dont like him at all.
robben is a fantastic player. and bayern munich wont sell him to us next yr. that would leave ribery by himself again. robben can play either wing right? pretty sure i've seen him play on the left wing with netherlands.
robben wouldve been fantastic..he can compete wit henry for left wing and right wing if messi gets injured..but ill still prefer our youth players..
