DONE DEAL: FC Twente snap up Barcelona midfielder Oriol Busquets

FC Twente have snapped up Barcelona midfielder Oriol Busquets.

Barcelona have officially announced Busquets' move to Twente on a one-year loan deal which doesn't include option to buy.

The Blaugrana feel the 20-year-old is key for the future and they weren't willing to offer the Dutch side the option to purchase his rights at the end of the season.

Busquets' contract with the Catalan side runs until 2021, with a two-year extension option and his release clause has been set at €200m.
