Barcelona confirm De Jong loan from Sevilla

The 31-year-old forward will provide much-needed cover at Camp Nou after Antoine Griezmann returned to Atletico Madrid

Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Luuk de Jong in a loan switch from Sevilla with an option to make the move permanent next June.

The 31-year-old joins up with the Blaugrana after spending two seasons with Sevilla, where he failed to find his best scoring form.

De Jong will provide cover at forward, where Barca have been lacking for options after the departures of Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain and Antoine Griezmann back to Atletico Madrid.
