Nigeria U-23 midfielder, Usman Muhammed,
will officially begin life as a Barcelona player
on July 12.
Usman impressed the coaches of the Barca B
team during a short trial at the club towards
the end of last season and will join as a free
agent on July 1, when his deal with Uniao
Madeira expires.
The Portuguese club Muhammed before last
year's Olympic Games, but dispute over payment of his wages and transfer fee ensured he didn't make a single appearance for the team throughout his two-year stint.
OwnGoalNigeria reports he will now resume
with the Barcelona squad on July 12, when
new coach Ernesto Valverde is also expected
to start running the rule on all players.
Muhammed and other fringe players, are
expected to report a week earlier than their
established team-mates. Valverde will use
those seven days to decide which of them
will join their USA Tour.
