“I’m very happy to finally be in Barcelona and to join you. I’m looking forward to a great season and the first game,” he told the club’s media in words reported by Mundo Deportivo after being welcomed by employees of the club at El Prat airport.

The former Borussia Dortmund (2011-16) and City (2016-23) player will sign a contract tomorrow until 2025 with an option for a further year. His clause is 400 million euros.

The 32-year-old added: “It’s a dream to be at Barça. I remember when I was a kid and I watched Rijkaard and Pep’s Barça. I’m a Barça fan, I’ve followed them closely every season and I’m very happy and very proud to be part of this team”.

On expectations for this season

“I expect good football. I think there is a lot of potential in the team with very young players and I believe that with my experience I can help them reach their next level. The base is there, the potential is there, so it only remains to prove it this season, that’s why I came here, and that’s why I will work hard and put my dedication to enjoy it”.
