The centre-back will end 14 years of association with his boyhood club with a transfer this summer, with Bundesliga giants Dortmund set to trigger his release clause
Barcelona has announced that Marc Bartra will leave the club this summer, with the club having agreed not to stand in the way of a move to Borussia Dortmund.
The 25-year-old joins Dani Alves in exiting Camp Nou, with Javier Mascherano also linked with a move away from Catalonia in recent weeks.
And despite earlier protestations from Robert Fernandez that he would not be allowed to leave, the news was later confirmed by the club.
