"TV3" ensures that said arrival will produce in return of 15 millions.

Josep Maria Bartomeu would have decided to gather quickly and although it only was some minutes with his more gathered directors after receiving a call on the state of the negotiations with the Arsenal, that already would be of the all enclosed. In fact, half as "TV3" inform that Thomas Vermaelen will travel this same Saturday to Barcelona to happen what before medical review. For this, however, it will be necessary to expect to that the agreement was official, something that is only question of hours. The Belgian head office will sign by 5 seasons with the FC Barcelona.

Vermaelen Will be the second reinforcement of Luis Enrique for the defensive saga -the first was Jeremy Mathieu-, closing definitively the plot of head offices of the staff and advancing of this way to Javier Mascherano to the centre of the field like acting of Sergio Busquets in the defensive pivote.
