The news that Barcelona had reached a purchase agreement with SC Freiburg wonderkid Noah Darvich emerged a few days ago, and today, the club formally declared that they had acquired the services of the 16-year-old winger.

“FC Barcelona and SC Freiburg have reached an agreement on the transfer of the German midfielder for the sum of €2.5 million and a contract that will last until the 30th of June, 2026. According to the official statement released by the club, the cost of the termination clause will be one billion euros.

Darvich, who was just 16 years old, had been performing extraordinarily well for SC Freiburg’s Under-17 system, which gained him a place in their Under-19 side despite the fact that he was still too young.

Although notable clubs from throughout Europe had expressed interest in the young player’s potential, Barcelona was ultimately successful in their pursuit to sign him.

The young talent from Germany arrived in Barcelona earlier today to finish his medical examinations and sign his contract; as a result, the club has now officially announced that he will be joining their roster.

According to what was stated by Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona will pay Freiburg a transfer fee of €2.5 million, but there will also be a variable component that could bring the total value of the deal up to €5 million.

According to the information provided in the statement, Darvich will be signing a deal with the Catalans that will be for three years and will include a massive release clause that is worth one billion euros. This serves as an indication of how highly Barcelona rates him.

Another indication of his promise is the fact that the 16-year-old will begin his career with the senior squad of Barca Athletic immediately rather than competing in the younger age groups.

If he lives up to the promise, the German youth international may not have to wait too much longer before he is banging on the doors of the first-team locker room at the Catalan club.
