Borussia Dortmund line up potential €25 million deal for Barcelona striker

With a further €5m in variables, the 24-year-old could end up costing €30m.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND HAVE completed the signing of Paco Alcacer on loan with an option to buy from Barcelona.

Dortmund will pay €2 million up front for the loan and can make it a permanent deal if they hand over a further €23m, though the Catalan side can reject that offer. With a further €5m in variables, the 24-year-old could end up costing €30m.

Alcacer had his medical at the German club on Tuesday and said he is excited to begin his Bundesliga adventure.

“I’m really looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga soon,” Alcacer said. 

“It’s one of the best leagues in the world and BVB, with their unbelievable fans and their famous South Stand, probably represent something magical for every football player.”

Sporting director Michael Zorc added: “We’re absolutely delighted that Paco Alcácer has chosen to join Borussia Dortmund and we’re firmly convinced this type of player will be a good fit for our style of play.

“Paco proved his qualities during his younger years at Valencia, scoring lots of goals, and acquired special status there at just 22 years of age when he was handed the captain’s armband. In Barcelona, he worked alongside some of the best players in the world on a daily basis. The fact that he’s now taken the decision to make a fresh start after two years is attributable to the extremely tough competition for attacking places at the club.”
