Marseille Signs U.S. Forward Konrad De La Fuente From Barcelona

Konrad de la Fuente is moving on from Barcelona.

The 19-year-old U.S. men's national team winger and Miami native has secured a transfer from Barcelona to Marseille in Ligue 1, ending an association with Barcelona that dates back to 2013 and leaving Barcelona with just one U.S. rising talent now, fullback Sergiño Dest. The transfer fee is a 3 million euros ($3.6 million; Barcelona also has an unspecified sell-on percentage), and Konrad is signed on a deal through 2025.

Konrad moves to a club that operates under American stewardship, with former L.A. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt the club's owner (he has come under fire by Marseille supporters during his time at the helm).
