Barcelona have signed André Gomes

Although one of the main summer targets for Florentino Pérez, it seems that their biggest rivals have stolen a march and snapped up the player despite the asking price, which was generally considered rather high for the young player.

How things can change

Real Madrid had been in discussions with Valencia and were seen as favourites to secure the signing with a money plus player loan deal - with Nacho, Kovacic, Asensio and Jesé all in the talks - but with this not being played out quickly enough, Los Ché turned to the Catalan club.

According to media outlet RAC1, Barcelona have agreed to pay 35 million euros with a further 20 million potential add-ons. André Gomes will sign and be presented to the Camp Nou next week.
