Barcelona have officially confirmed that Borussia Dortmund have exercised their right to buy option on loanee Paco Alcacer.
The Spain international has been in prolific form for Dortmund this season, firing in 12 goals in 14 games in the Bundesliga.
Now, Barcelona have confirmed via their official website that the German side have 'taken advantage of the permanent transfer option' included in the loan deal that was reached for the striker last summer – a slightly confusing statement, given that Dortmund 'confirmed' the purchase back in November.
The Catalan giants have revealed that Dortmund will pay €23m and €5m more in 'variables' and confirmed that they will receive five per cent of any future sale by Dortmund.
