Roma have officially missed out on Lucas Digne, as the full-back has joined Barcelona.

The French international spent last season on loan with the Giallorossi, but they failed to find a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to make the move permanent.

Inserted into the original loan deal was an option to buy for €18m, but the Lupi were attempting to get a discount and wouldn’t offer more than €12m.

Roma have officially missed out on Lucas Digne, as the full-back has joined Barcelona.

The French international spent last season on loan with the Giallorossi, but they failed to find a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to make the move permanent.

Inserted into the original loan deal was an option to buy for €18m, but the Lupi were attempting to get a discount and wouldn’t offer more than €12m.

That stance has backfired, as the Blaugrana have now taken the defender for €16.5m.

“FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain FC to sign the 22 year old French player Lucas Digne for the next five seasons,” the Catalan club confirmed on their official website.

“Barça have paid an initial €16.5 million with another four possible according to individual and team results. Digne’s buy out clause is €60 million.

“Lucas Digne will arrive in Barcelona on Thursday early in the morning local time to undergo a medical and sign his contract.”
