Story updated
The story in brief
25-second readFC Barcelona roped in Jesse Bisiwu this past summer, shelling out a fee of €8.5 million plus add-ons – a sizeable amount for a teenager with no first-team experience.
The Catalan club endured lengthy negotiations with Club Brugge throughout last season to secure the signing of the 18-year-old considered one of Europe’s most promising young talents.
From the outset, Barcelona had a clear plan for Bisiwu : help him adapt to the club’s playing style and environment while supporting him through the changes involved in moving to a new country.
