Montreal Impact head coach Thierry Henry has returned to his former club Barcelona to sign Canada international Ballou Tabla on permanent terms.
Winger Tabla left the Impact as an 18-year-old to join Barca in January 2018, becoming a member of the club's B team.
Tabla departs Camp Nou after two years of a three-year deal, however, having been unable to make a first-team breakthrough.

The 20-year-old had a €25 million (£21m/$28m) release clause in his contract to protect Barcelona in the event he developed at a rapid rate.
Such a rise to stardom did not materialise, and there was no mention of any fee in a statement from Montreal that said Tabla had returned to them on a two-year contract, with two option years.
