Barcelona Transfer News: Lee Seung-woo Set for Increased Buyout Clause

The transfer rumour mill is in full flow at Barcelona after the club saw its transfer ban lifted this month, and South Korean starlet Lee Seung-woo is set to see his release clause quadruple following a promotion in the team's ranks.

Lee is once again free to sign for the club after turning 18 on Wednesday, and according to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo (h/t ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan), his release clause could increase from €3 million (£2.2 million) to €12 million (£8.8 million).

The teenager moved to the Camp Nou from Incheon United in 2011 and was noted by Corrigan as one of the players whose arrival led to Barcelona being prevented from registering any new players throughout last year.
