adminBarcelona paraded Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes at the Camp Nou on Wednesday after his €55-million capture from Valencia on a five-year deal.
The 22-year-old, part of Portugal’s European Championship-winning side, has a release clause of €100 million and will cost an initial €35 million, with €20 million in add-ons.
Gomes, who agreed the move last week, said he chose the Spanish champions because he felt it gave him the best chance to progress as a player.
“Every club has its own personality. The one that suits me the best is Barcelona,” the player said, adding that he had rebuffed other offers to move to other clubs. — AFP
