It’s a done deal and not many Barça fans haven’t a clue why. Douglas has signed for Barcelona and the club have made it official on their website.The player has been signed for £3.2m which could rise by another £1.2M depending on the number of games Pereira gets to play for his new club.

The deal will cost Barça four million Euros with performance variables of another one and a half million based on games blocks.
Douglas will travel to Barcelona for a medical at the end of this week, when he will also put pen to paper on a five year deal and be officially presented as the Club’s latest summer signing.
The 24-year-old Douglas is a pacey right wing back who after three seasons, 75 appearances and five goals for his home town club of Goiás signed for Sao Paolo in 2012 .
