DBasia.news – Not enough in only bringing in Frenkie de Jong from Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona, according to the famous Dutch media, De Telegraaf, has also successfully hooked Ludovit Reis from Groningen.
Positioning as a central midfielder who has played 27 Eredivise matches this season, Reis is only 18 years old and reportedly, Barca purchased him for eight million euros. Aleksandar Bursac, Reis’s agent, confirmed the transfer.
“Both clubs (Barcelona and Groningen) have reached an agreement (about Reis). I did not say how much it was, it did not depend on me. For Ludovit it was clear this (transfer) was very great. Top transfer,” said Bursac.
“This weekend or Monday, we will know when we can go to Barcelona to complete the transfer.”
“We want to see the head coach (Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde) see Ludovic in the training session, so he has an impression of things he can do and also see if he can reach the level (playing) of Barcelona,” he explained.
It is possible that Reis will not immediately play in Barca’s main team, even though Valverde is included in the preseason tour. The player who has played in the first team of Groningen since 2017 was allegedly going to be loaned to another team or playing in Barcelona B to increase his playing hours.
