Moldeas he hit out the club.
"I was studying players and I wrote down some names like Haaland from
Borussia Dortmund
, when he was still playing in Norway," Braida told Marca.
"But at the club they told me no, that he didn't have the Barcelona profile. I also suggested other players from Italy, like [Nicolo] Barella, who is now at Inter, or
[Nicolo] Zaniolo
, who plays at
Roma
.
"But if you don't have the responsibility to do this because it has been given to others, you can't do anything. I was isolated."
