Overview
- Barcelona completed the transfer on Friday when 18‑year‑old Jesse Bisiwu passed a medical and signed a five‑year deal that runs until 30 June 2031.
- Media reports place the fee at about €8.5 million and say Club Brugge secured a 20% sell‑on clause to retain future upside from the player.
- The club will register Bisiwu with Barça Atlètic but has already brought him into first‑team pre‑season training under Hansi Flick and may use him in the August 8 friendly tournament in Udine.
- Bisiwu is a Belgian youth international noted for pace, strength and dribbling who has played for Club Brugge’s academy and reserve side but has not yet made a top‑flight senior appearance.
- Barcelona’s sporting director Deco and head scout Joao Amaral led weeks of negotiations to complete the signing which fits the club’s model of buying young talent, integrating them through the reserves and exposing them to first‑team experience.
