The Catalan club released an official statement, which read:
"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.
"His pace on the left makes him a threat going forward as does his excellent technical quality on the ball. Provided he passes his medical, he will be presented to the public at the Nou Camp on Thursday afternoon followed by his first press conference."
While many Barcelona fans are pushing for a Paul Pogba and Luciano Vietto deal, they were left disappointed by their club's latest signing. Yet, other fans were ecstatic to welcome the defender to the Catalan side.
After this massive move for the France international, Blaugrana supporters took to Twitter to react to this summer move.
Barça signed Lucas Digne. He's 22. Alba became too complacent last season, now he'll have to perform consistently to play! Great signing imo

@RafaelH117 Well, at least they're signing youngsters... I was afraid of Gameiro, Nolito and some old defender...
