Suarez joins Barcelona

Spain Under-20 international Denis Suarez has joined Barcelona from Manchester City.

The 19-year-old winger, who moved to City from Celta Vigo in 2011, has signed a contract with the Spanish giants until 2017.

He will initially join the Barcelona B team, with his buyout clause set at €12million. That will rise to €35million if he reaches the club s senior side.

Suarez, who made four appearances for Spain during the recent FIFA Under-20 World Cup, had struggled to break in to the first team at the Etihad Stadium following his progression through Celta s academy.

Despite being named City s Young Player of the Year in 2012, he made only two competitive appearances for the first team.

Suarez could feature in Barcelona B s second game of the season against Lugo on Saturday.
