Barcelona and Japanese club Vissel Kobe have announced they have partnered up ahead of the 2019/20 season with an agreement that will see the teams 'share knowledge and collaborate on a business level'.
The announcement comes in the aftermath of Barça's 2-0 win over Vissel in the Rakuten Cup, a pre-season tournament being held in Japan.
Young forward Carles Perez scored the goals on the field, but it's this deal that will live long in the memory, particularly for Vissel - who already have three former Barça players on their books in Andres Iniesta, David Villa and Sergi Samper.
