Barcelona has today officially announced the transfer of Palmeiras central defender and Brazilian international Henrique Adriano Buss (21), subject to medical tests later today.
The player will sign a five-year contract and will be loaned out to German Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen next season.
Barcelona will pay a fixed transfer fee of 8 million euro° plus another possible 2 million euro° variables depending on the qualification for the Champions League in the four years after the loan deal with Bayer ends.
pep's opinion:
if it works it's a great operation, cause the fee will be quite low and a loan deal is perfect to adapt to the european competitions, certainly since it's really rare that brazilians shine at a top club during their first year. the other side is nevertheless that you could have six players (puyol, marquez, milito, pique, caceres, henrique) for two spots next summer and that's just too much, even with some of them not being the youngest anymore.
