Ousmane Dembele is FC Barcelona’s latest signing, becoming the second-most expensive signing in history. Borussia Dortmund were strong negotiators, but finally both clubs struck a deal.
The tug-of-war between Barca and Dortmund has gone on for weeks before culminating in the most expensive signing in the history of the Catalan club.
Barcelona will pay 105 million euros plus add-ons and the Frenchman will sign a five-year contract with a buy-out clause set at 400 million euros.
The 20-year-old, who arrives to replace Neymar up front, will arrive in Barcelona on Sunday before undergoing a medical and being officially unveiled on Monday.
The young France international forced his way out of the Bundesliga outfit, with his latest act of rebellion involving not reporting for training. He was keen on the move, and is not short of confidence as he believes he can help the crowd at the Camp Nou forget about Neymar.
