Ousmane Dembele will be FC Barcelona's new player this season after the club and Borussia Dortmund reached an agreement, the Spanish La Liga giants have officially announced.
According to a FC Barcelona statement on Friday, the deal with the German Bundesliga side included a transfer fee of 105 million euros ($124.7 million) plus add-ons in pursuit of the French forward, reports Xinhua news agency.
The 20-year-old Dembele will arrive on Sunday to undergo a medical on Monday, to sign his five-year contract and to be officially presented, the club said, adding that his buy out clause is set at 400 million euros ($477.25 million).
