  • Barcelona has signed 18-year-old Belgian player Jessee Bisiwu from Club Brugge.
  • The transfer is reportedly worth 8.5 million euros plus 20% of any future sale.
  • Bisiwu, who can play on either wing, was named to the best team at last year's U17 European Championship but has not played for Club Brugge's senior team.

Spanish football champions Barcelona have secured the signing of 18-year-old Belgian talent Jessee Bisiwu from Club Brugge. The young player has agreed to a contract with Barcelona that runs until 2031, with the transfer fee estimated at 8.5 million euros, plus an additional 20 percent of any future sale.

Bisiwu, capable of playing on both the left and right wings, caught the attention of scouts at last year's U17 European Championship, where he was selected for the tournament's best team. Despite this recognition, he has yet to make an appearance for Club Brugge's senior squad, having only played for their reserve team in the second Belgian league.

It is anticipated that Bisiwu will spend most of his initial period in Catalonia playing for Barcelona's reserve team. His transfer marks a significant step for the young Belgian, who will now develop his game within one of Europe's top football clubs.
