FC Barcelona has made one of the most ambitious moves of the summer official. The PSG winger will become the new signing for the blaugrana squad after giving his final approval. At just 22 years old, his arrival means an injection of young talent, flair, and future for the Barça attack.
Deco and Laporta have been following the player for weeks, aware that his situation in Paris could open a door. The focus on young profiles, with potential and experience at the elite level, remains a priority for the new sports project. The agreement with the footballer's camp is already complete, and Camp Nou is preparing to welcome a new emerging talent.

Relegated at PSG despite his impact
The striker had a splendid start to the season, taking on responsibilities after one of the team's stars left. However, the arrival of new signings and the promotion of several academy players reduced his prominence. His coach chose a system that didn't suit him and ended up relegating him to the bench.
Despite that loss of minutes, his numbers remain positive and his impact every time he steps onto the field is noticeable. Barcola knows his moment is now and he doesn't want to see his progression compromised. That's why he has made a firm decision: to leave PSG this summer to regain prominence.

Barça didn't take long to act once they learned of the player's desire. The contacts between Deco and his agent have been constant, and Joan Laporta himself has been involved in the talks. The terms are clear and the coaching staff have approved his signing without hesitation.
Hansi Flick sees Barcola as an ideal player for his system. He can play on both flanks, has flair, speed, and the ability to link up with teammates. His youth isn't an obstacle, but rather an opportunity to shape him within the Barça style from day one.

A complex operation, but underway
The operation, however, won't be easy. PSG don't want to let him go easily, even though he's no longer a starter. They consider him part of their future project and will only let him leave for a high fee.
The French paid a considerable transfer fee not long ago, and now demand at least 80 million euros. Barça are studying different ways to approach the deal: staggered payments, a loan with a mandatory option, or even the inclusion of players to lower the cost.
At 22 years old, the striker has decided to take control of his future, opening the door to a transfer that will return him to the competitive spotlight. Barcola has given his approval to join Barça, convinced by the project, the style, and the chance to become a key piece in the new cycle. His camp has already received guarantees that he will have an important role from the start.
With Barcola in the squad, the blaugrana would add dynamite and creativity to their attack, while also strengthening their identity of homegrown talent and youth. The signing would also have great symbolic value: another show of authority by Barça in the international market. If everything goes as planned, his presentation could take place within weeks.
