Summary

Barcelona has reached a full agreement with Club Brugge to sign 18-year-old Belgian-Ghanaian winger Jesse Bisiwu after an opening €10 million bid was rejected. The deal, agreed on July 11, 2026, includes performance-related bonuses and a sell-on clause that preserves Club Brugge’s interest in any future transfer. Only a medical examination and administrative paperwork remain before the move is completed. Bisiwu, whose Club Brugge contract runs until 2027, had been tracked by Barcelona since at least April 2026, giving context to negotiations that followed months of scouting. The structure of the agreement reflects two common transfer-market goals: limiting Barcelona’s upfront financial exposure while allowing Brugge to benefit if the player develops and is later sold at a higher valuation.

Terms & Concepts
  • sell-on clause: A contract provision giving a selling club a share of a player’s future transfer value or fee.
