Marcus McGuane |
BARCELONA have signed promising Arsenal teenager Marcus McGuane on a three-year contract and immediately slapped on a £22.5 million (AU$39m, €25m) release clause.
McGuane caught the eye of Barcelona with his performances for Arsenal’s Under-23 team and signed for an undisclosed fee where he will initially join up with the Barcelona B squad.
Barcelona B compete in Spain’s second-tier Segunda division, with Barca also attaching an option to extend the 18-year-old’s contract by a further two years.
London-born McGuane graduated from Arsenal’s youth academy after joining the Premier League club at under-six level.
“We would like to thank Marcus for his contribution and wish him well at Barcelona,” an Arsenal statement read.
England Under-19 midfielder McGuane played twice for Arsenal’s first team this season in Europa League ties against Red Star Belgrade and BATE Borisov.
