OFFICIAL: Bartra to leave Barcelona for Borussia Dortmund

 

The centre-back will end a 14 year association with his boyhood club after the German side triggered his release clause and agreed a four-year deal with him

Barcelona have announced that Marc Bartra will leave the club this summer, with the defender having reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund.
The German club revealed on their official website that the centre-back will sign a four-year deal, though some details need to be finalised before the move can be completed.
The 25-year-old joins Dani Alves in exiting Camp Nou, with Javier Mascherano also linked with a move away from Catalonia in recent weeks.
Despite earlier protestations from sporting director Robert Fernandez that he would not be allowed to leave, Barca have revealed that Dortmund agreed to trigger his release clause and he will move to Signal Iduna Park.
