Defending La Liga champion Barcelonaannounced its first signing of the summer on Monday.
The Catalonian club confirmed it signed 21-year-old midfielder Arthur from Brazilian side Gremio for an initial €31-million fee. That figure could rise to €40 million depending on add-ons and bonuses.
Arthur, who's received a senior Brazil call-up but has yet to debut for his country, signed a six-year deal with a buyout clause worth an eye-watering €400 million.

Gremio and Barcelona initially reached an agreement in March, and Arthur will now join the Blaugrana immediately following the completion of the transfer.
He will become the second Brazilian player at Camp Nou, joining compatriot Philippe Coutinho after Paulinho completed a return to China this past weekend.
