Barcelona Have paid his release clause

The La Masia starlets awaiting their chance

One of the most promising prospects to come out of the Barcelona youth system has left the club, Jordi Mboula having signed for French champions Monaco.

The deal is worth three million euros, although the Monegasque team had tried to lower the price of the operation before finally agreeing to pay the price of the release clause.

Mboula was one of the stand-out youth players last season and will join up with Monaco to be part of their first-team squad going into next year's campaign.
