Villarreal tie up €15m Thierno Barry deal | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Villarreal have on Monday sealed an agreement for a fresh addition to the club’s attacking ranks.

That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Thierno Barry as the player all set to link up with the Yellow Submarine.

Barry, for his part, is a 21-year-old attacker who generally operates in a centre-forward role, but is also capable of taking to the pitch on either wing.

After something of a breakout campaign with Basel last time out, which saw him rack up 12 goals and five assists, Barry has since absolutely exploded over the early weeks of the new Swiss season.

Remarkably, in four appearances to date, the youngster has found the net on no fewer than eight occasions.

Such exploits have caught the eye of a whole host of clubs across the continent, amid the belief that Barry possesses all of the requisite tools to develop into something of a star.

And, as alluded to above, on Monday, one such club have won out in the race for his signature.

As per a report from Fabrizio Romano:

‘Villarreal have agreed [a] deal to sign 21-year-old talent Thierno Barry on €15m package from Basel.’

The finer details of the agreement will be sorted imminently, before the striker flies out to Spain to pen terms with Marcelino’s side later this week.
