Overview
- The transfer was completed Friday when Jesse Bisiwu passed his medical and signed his contract at Barcelona’s sports city in Sant Joan Despí, with an official club announcement expected imminently.
- Barcelona will pay a reported €8.5 million up front and Club Brugge will receive a 20% sell-on share of any future transfer fee.
- Bisiwu will be registered with Barça Atlètic to aid his adaptation to Spanish football while regularly joining Hansi Flick’s first-team training sessions.
- The 18-year-old Belgian left winger is listed at 1.85 metres and is known for his pace and direct running down the left flank, traits the club views as having high development potential.
- Deco and Barcelona’s scouting team led weeks of negotiations to secure the deal and the club is considering using the August 8 pre-season triangular in Udine to give Bisiwu an early unofficial senior test.
