Barcelona have clinched the signing of Lucas Roman from Argentina's Ferro.

Less than a year after his debut as a senior player, Román was sold to Barca for an initial €1.2m, rising to €5m in bonuses. The striker will sign a deal to 2027.

The 18 year-old will initially play for Rafa Marquez's Barca Atletic.

Román leaves Second Division Ferro after 27 games played, in which he scored three goals and provided an assist.

He is rated the best young player outside of Argentina's top-flight.
