Finally FC Barcelona have managed to sign a player as they were desperate to sign some one new to fill up the vacant position due to the departure of Brazilian sensation Neymar, who has moved to Paris Saint Germain for the world record transfer fee. The Catalans have brought in young French gun Ousmane Dembele from German Bundesliga side Ousmane Dembele. The forward was in great touch during his time at Signal Iduna Park and caught the eyes of the Europe’s elite panel with his incredible skills.
The Spanish giants have completed the signing of the attacker for £96 million initial cost but that might go up to £136 million with bonuses. Dortmund have done a great business as they bought the same player as a teenager, just a season before and it costed them just around 15 million Euro.

The Catalans are currently at the second position in the league. Luis Suarez who suffered an injury, is also expected to be back against Espanyol.
The former Dortmund man hailed his new club and labelled Barca as the best in the continent. He is excited and pleased to join a club like FCB and also applauded his new side on Twitter. The new man will wear the number 11 jersey at Camp Nou, which was used to be wore by Neymar.
