Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday evening, brought together Brazilian Philippe Kotiño from the English Liverpool, in a deal awaited by the long-time Catalan team lovers.
The official website of Barcelona said the contract of Tekoño (25 years old) remains in Camp Nu for 5 and a half seasons, with a penalty requirement of 400 million euros.
The club added that in the coming hours, he will announce the details of the movement of the "samba dancers" to Barcelona and its official submission date.
Barcelona did not mention the value of the deal, but British and Spanish press reports indicated that they had cost 160 million euros to the Spanish premier, making the second largest deal in football history, after Nimmar's compatriot.
Barcelona was much sought to annex Kutaño last summer after Nimmar's departure to Paris Saint-Germain in a record deal worth 222 million euros, but his endeavors did not work at the time.
However, it does not appear that the door for negotiations has been closed between Barcelona and Liverpool over the past several months, until he ended up in Camp No.
Kutiño will not be able to play with Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, as he has already participated with the "Reds" in the same contest this season.
