Today the Dutch Ajax player signed his new contract with FC Barcelona.

The Spanish club will pay a fixed quantity of 75M€ to Ajax plus 11M€ additional in variable quantities and the player will be in the club until 2024.

There has been lot's of rumors during the week as three of the biggest clubs were chasing the player: FC Barcelona, PSG in France and Manchester City in the UK. Last week some of the closest friends of the player where putting PSG ahead of the race but after a trip from FCB president to Amsterdam the player decided to postpone his decision to this week and today, a final meeting has finally closed the agreement with both clubs and the player.

His style and versatility seem to fit perfectly in FC Barcelona, a club that breathes Johann Cruyff style. We still will have to wait a few months to see him playing on his new team with Mesi, Pike, Suarez etc, but for sure it is a great acquisition for FC Barcelona.
