Barcelona beat Paris St-Germain for West Bromwich Albion's signing of one of England's brightest talents with 16-year-old striker Louie Barry.
Barry would have pbaded a medical examination at PSG before Barcelona intervene at the last minute and convinced him to join the ranks of La Masia, the famous academy of the club.
Barry, who turned 16 last month, signed a three-year contract with Barcelona until 2022 and will play for his under-19 team while West Brom will receive £ 235,000 as compensation.
"[Barry] is an international with the English Under-16 team, for whom he has played nine times and scored seven goals, "said Barcelona in a statement." Next season he will be part of the team under 19 years of Barca. "
Barry joins the growing number of young Englishmen who have joined foreign clubs, such as Jadon Sancho, the 19-year-old winger of Borussia Dortmund, who has reached adulthood with 13 goals and 19 badists in all competitions.
