Barcelona have agreed a transfer fee with Sao Paulo for Douglas, which will see him arrive at the Camp Nou this summer.
Brazilian club Sao Paulo announced last week that the right-back had been in deep negotiations with the Catalan club and it has now been confirmed by Barca themselves that the 24-year-old will join on a five year deal.
“FC Barcelona and Sao Paulo FC have reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of the player Douglas Pereira,” read a statement on the Liga side’s official website.
“The cost of operation is €4 million plus €1.5m in variables that are dependent upon games played.
“Douglas will travel to Barcelona later this week to undergo a medical. He will sign a contract with FC Barcelona for the next five seasons.”
Douglas, becomes Barca’s fifth high-profile defensive acquisition of the summer, with Claudio Bravo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Thomas Vermaelen and Jeremy Mathieu having already made a move to the Camp Nou.
