5 things to know about Barcelona's latest signing Andre Gomes

#5 Trading a player to Valencia from Camp Nou made Gomes' transfer possible this summer

in his time at Valencia, Gomes has shown he is perfect to play according to Barca’s tactics

Valencia had put a £54 million price tag on Andre Gomes but accepted Barca's deal of a cut price of £46 million in exchange of trading a player who is proving to be surplus to demands at Barcelona. With a plethora of talent available in midfield at Barca, it was reported that Arda Turan will make way for Gomes but now it is being speculated that fullback Martin Montoya and winger Cristian Tello will make their way to Mestalla.

Andre Gomes' arrival to Camp Nou this summer can be termed as the first Clasico victory as Real Madrid were in for the Portuguese all along and were reportedly very close to signing the 22-year-old before Barca came calling for the youngster. Gomes has all the qualities to be a long term replacement for Barca legend, Xavi Hernandez.
