Former Inter striker Manaj joins Barcelona for €700,000

Barcelona have signed Rey Manaj from Albacete for an initial €700,000, with the former Inter striker agreeing a contract until June 2023.

The fee could rise by €2 million (£1.7m/$2.2m) in performance-based bonuses over the next three and a half years, with 22-year-old Manaj set to line up for Barcelona B in the Spanish third tier.

After starting his senior career with Cremonese, the Albania international – who has a €50 million (£42.7m/$55.5m) release clause in his contract at Barcelona – moved to Inter but made just six appearances for the club during a four-year stint that included loans to Pescara, Pisa and Granada.
