La Liga giants Barcelona have ushered in a new hope amidst the transfer turmoil, officially announcing that they have successfully brought in Xavier defender Zoulis Goudi, with both sides signing a five-year deal. Although Barcelona's tight economy in recent years has forced players to take pay cuts and even default on salary payments, sparking widespread controversy, it has not diminished the team's appeal, which has continued to attract many stars this summer.
Chelsea had made an offer of 55 million pounds to try to buy Zoulis Goudi, but ultimately lost to the sincerity of Barcelona. The 23-year-old French international said that the choice to join Barcelona was due to the charisma of the coach Xavi: "I have had many in-depth exchanges with Xavi, and we share the same soccer philosophy, I hope to contribute to Barcelona's greatest strength."
Although Barcelona officials have confirmed that they have reached a transfer agreement with Xavier, they have not disclosed the exact cost of the transfer. Zoulis Goudi has passed the medical examination and officially signed a five-year contract with Barcelona, with a default fee of up to 1 billion euros.
Barcelona has signed a number of strong players such as Robert Livundovsky, Rafinshabiloni, Anders Kirchen, Kisel and so on this summer, with a luxurious lineup, which is expected to make an impact on the title in the new season of La Liga.
