Andre Gomes completes Barcelona move

27 July 2016 10:54

Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes has completed his move to Barcelona after passing a medical and putting pen to paper.

The Portugal international arrived at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night following an announcement last Thursday that a reported £29.2million deal had been agreed between the two La Liga clubs.

He completed the formalities by officially signing his contract on Wednesday morning.

The 22-year-old, who was part of Portugal's Euro 2016-winning squad, spent the 2014-15 season on loan at Valencia from Benfica before making the move permanent last summer. He made 78 appearances for Los Che, scoring nine goals.

Gomes won the Portuguese treble - the league and two domestic cups - with Benfica in 2013-14, when they were also Europa League runners-up for the second successive season.

He is Barca's fourth signing of the summer, following fellow midfielder Denis Suarez from Villarreal and France defenders Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne from Lyon and Paris St Germain respectively.
