Barca sold him to Hamburg for 5 mil. 10 mil buyback after one season, 12.5 after two.

obviously he's good enough for top flight football but he's not getting into the lineup next year, so it makes sense.

plus, hoping the extra money in the budget = a real shot at a good 4th forward. Rumors still swirling that Vietto is down to be that forward. I'd be intrigued by that option.

also, somehow Alex Song and Adriano and Montoya and Tello are still officially barca players not on loan. and shouts to Douglas for rejecting all the offers he's gotten because he wants another year in spain to get his citizenship. He's played barca like a champ, even if he can't play for shit.
