DONE DEAL: Barcelona sign permanently LAFC defender Mbacke

Mbacke spent last season on-loan with Barca, where he impressed with Barca Atletic.

That form has led to Barca dealing him in, paying €4m to LAFC for his outright transfer.

Mbacke has signed a four-year contract with the Blaugrana and will initially start the new season with Barca Atletic.

However, the 21 year-old could find himself on the fringes of the first team if Mikayil Faye is sold in the coming weeks.
