Borussia Dortmund have agreed to sign Barcelona centre-back Marc Bartra.

The Bundesliga club activated the 8 million euros release clause in the 25-year-old’s contract, which the La Liga champions could not reject.

Bartra has been at the Nou Camp since the age of 12 and worked his way through the youth system to the first-team, making 26 appearances in all competitions last season.

A statement from Barcelona’s website said: “FC Barcelona wish Marc Bartra all the best in his new phase of his career as a player and he will be invited to say goodbye to the fans personally at the start of next season.”

Dortmund have announced Bartra will sign a four-year contract when he arrives.

Thomas Tuchel’s side have been busy already this summer, signing Ousmane Dembele from Rennes while Ilkay Gundogan has departed for Manchester City and Mats Hummels to Bayern Munich.
