Barcelona starlet Lee Seung-Woo—once dubbed the heir to Blaugrana icon Lionel Messi—has completed a move to Italian outfit Hellas Verona for €1.5 million (£1.4 million), signing a four-year contract.
Hellas confirmed the transfer via the club's official website on Friday, bringing an end to Lee's six-year tenure at the Camp Nou, having joined Barca in 2011:

ESPN FC's Sam Marsden reported on the transfer and spoke of the comparisons drawn between Lee and Messi following his arrival in Catalonia, although he'll now look to realise that potential in Serie A.
