Ousmane Dembele has joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract, the La Liga club has announced.
The Catalan giants signed the highly-rated France international for 105 million Euros (£96.8 million) – the second highest transfer fee of all time behind Neymar, who switched Barca for Paris St Germain earlier this summer for £200.6 million.
Barcelona said in a statement on their official website: “FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement for the transfer of Ousmane Dembele for 105 million euros plus add-ons. The player will sign a five year contract and his buy out-clause is set at 400 million euros.”
Dortmund revealed Dembele’s fee could rise to 147 million euros (£135.5 million) with a possible 42 million euros due in additional bonus payments.
The German club said on their official website: “The payment of add-ons was agreed up to a maximum total amount of approximately 40 per cent of the fixed transfer fee.”
The 20-year-old is due to arrive in Barcelona on Sunday and will undergo a medical on Monday morning.
