Barcelona have completed the signing of left-back Junior Firpo on a five-year contract from Real Betis for a fee which could rise to 27.5m.
The Spanish champions have included a 183m buy-out clause in the Dominican-born 22-year-old's contract.
Firpo featured in 29 games last season and was part of Spain's U21 European Championship-winning side in June.
Barcelona previously signed France forward Antoine Griezmann from rivals Atletico Madrid for 107m in July.
Former Betis coach Quique Setien stated today, "Bara has done an excellent operation.
"He has enormous potential and it is worth betting on him. Hopefully he'll succeed because I have affection for him.
"In this year and a half he has been progressing, improving concepts, and in Bara he will progress by his desire and potential."
