Barca have paid €500,000 for his season-long loan with his permanent option worth €10m. This will be triggered if Demir plays in 20 games at least 45 minutes.
“He played a good preseason, but the pressure became too much when the competition started. At a certain point he only made safe choices," a Barca source told Sport.
