FC Barcelona has officially completed the signing of Jesse Bisiwu from Club Brugge on Thursday, July 11, 2026, after reaching a definitive agreement with the Belgian club. The 22-year-old forward has given his final consent to join the Blaugrana project, though the official announcement will come after administrative formalities. The deal includes performance bonuses and a resale clause for Brugge. Meanwhile, Barcelona starts the 2026-27 season with 0 points in La Liga (6th) and 0 goals in 0 matches, ahead of their first test against Atlético Madrid (2nd) on February 7, 2027.**

What are the financial terms of the deal?

The transfer package for Jesse Bisiwu includes performance-related bonuses, according to sources close to the process. Additionally, Club Brugge has secured a future resale clause, allowing them to recoup part of their investment if the player’s value rises. These conditions reflect Barcelona’s interest in strengthening their attack, though the exact financial details remain undisclosed.

Why is he arriving now and what role could he play?

Bisiwu arrives at a critical moment for Barcelona, which has failed to score a single goal in the season and faces a campaign without its historic star, Lionel Messi. His arrival aims to bring freshness and experience to the striker’s role, though his impact will depend on his integration with the squad and Xavi Hernández’s tactics. The Belgian, who scored 12 goals last season with Brugge, could be a key player in the final stretch of the competition.

When will it be made official and what’s next?

The final steps include contract signing and a medical exam, mandatory before the public announcement. In the meantime, Barcelona prepares for its next match, the derby against Atlético Madrid (2nd in the table) on February 7, 2027, a game that will set the tone for their campaign. Bisiwu’s late arrival could be a first step toward reviving an attack that has been silent for months.
