Barcelona to sign 18-year-old Belgian winger Jesse Bisiwu for €8.5m

Published Jul 21, 02:38 PM UTC

Barcelona is finalizing the transfer of 18-year-old Belgian forward Jesse Bisiwu from Club Brugge for 8.5 million euros, down from the initial 10 million euro asking price. The deal includes a five-season contract and Club Brugge retaining 20% of any future sale. Bisiwu, a left-footed winger known for his speed, was scouted during the U-20 World Cup in Qatar. He is expected to join Barcelona's first team preseason training at St George's Park from July 27 to August 3, though he may also play with the reserve team initially for adaptation. The player's desire to join Barcelona was decisive despite offers from other European clubs.
