Jesse Bisiwu, Barcelona's newest player, can't wait to see the legendary Camp Nou stadium in real life, instead of just on the TV screen, after joining from Club Brugge for a fee of 8.5 million euros. The 18-year-old, who has played for the Belgian youth team, was announced as a Blaugrana player on Tuesday, after Brugge agreed a fee reported to be €8.5m for his services. Bisiwu has signed a five-year contract with Barcelona, becoming the team's third attacking signing this summer, following the arrivals of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi.
Despite never making any appearances for Brugge's first team, Bisiwu is likely to have a limited role in coach Hansi Flick's plans for the 2026-27 season. However, he is determined to learn from those around him to realize his childhood dream of playing at Camp Nou. "I've seen Camp Nou on TV, but never seen it with my own eyes. Being here and seeing it for myself is a completely different feeling. I'm very happy to be here," he shared. "As a child, I always dreamed of playing for a big club like Barca, so being here is truly a dream of mine. I have been welcomed like a member of a big family. Coach Hansi has treated me very well, we have had several conversations, and I understand clearly what I have to do this year – which is to work hard and learn as much as possible."
Barcelona will make their La Liga debut against Elche on August 23, in a bid to win their third consecutive national championship under coach Hansi Flick.
