Barcelona have beaten Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of highly-rated England youth international Louie Barry, according to ESPN FC.
Barry, who turned 16 last month, confirmed earlier this week that he was leaving West Bromwich Albion in search of a new challenge.
Many of Europe's top clubs have been pursuing the youngster, including Barca, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Juventus.
Barry underwent a medical on Thursday in Paris before a late change of heart saw him head to Barcelona, where he signed a long-term contract on Saturday. He would have earned far more in France, but the sporting plan presented by Jose Mari Bakero and Guillermo Amor convinced him to change his mind at the last minute.
Barca are excited by how much room for growth there is with Barry, who has excelled as an out-and-out goal scorer for England at youth level, scoring 19 goals in 18 appearances for his country.

one things i don't like Barcelona board because they always sell their young talented Player to others club. instead of selling them,they can atleast loan them for 2 to 3 years so that they can atleast get experience and developed themselves..
