"Andrea Natali was a very interesting and highly sought-after player this summer as Italian U17 European champion. We are therefore very happy that he chose Bayer 04," said Bayer sports director Simon Rolfes to the club's website.
"In the long term, he has all the conditions to become an important factor for the Werkself of the future."
Along with Barca, Natali also spent time with AC Milan and Espanyol.
