Barcelona have announced they have signed Valencia striker Paco Alcacer for an initial €30m (£25.6m).
Signing a fourth striker has been a priority for Luis Enrique all summer and the Barcelona head coach has finally succeeded after missing out on the likes of Kevin Gameiro and Luciano Vietto earlier in the window.
Alcacer, who turned 23 today, has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the La Liga champions with a buy-out clause €100m (£85m).
“When I found out about the offer from FC Barcelona I asked the club to listen to it, as it was my decision to take a step forward in my career,” Alcacer told Valencia’s official website.”
“I want to thank Valencia CF and the fans. Despite the fact that I am leaving Valencia CF. I will always be a Valencianista at heart.”
In the last three La Liga campaigns Alcacer scored more goals than any other Valencia player (24).
