Overview
- Barcelona’s initial offer of around €9–10 million was rejected by Club Brugge, and talks intensified with sporting director Deco and Joao Amaral travelling to Belgium to negotiate.
- Multiple outlets on July 11 reported that Bisiwu has given his verbal agreement to join Barcelona, strengthening Barça’s negotiating position even as club-to-club terms were hashed out.
- Reports describe a structured package near €10 million plus a substantial sell-on share for Club Brugge, but the operation is not yet final and depends on paperwork, international clearance and a medical.
- The sporting plan is for the 18-year-old left winger to sign a multi-year deal, start with Barca Atletic and join the first-team group in preseason for possible promotion later.
- The deal reflects Barcelona’s preference for buying high-upside wide attackers with limited cash now and creating future value, while Club Brugge used Bisiwu’s 2027 contract expiry to secure a larger future stake.
