Crosas a done deal?

Reports coming out of Barcelona tonight suggest Marc Crosas is Celtic bound. The two clubs seem to have reached agreement on an initial 500,000 Euros with a further 900,000 of variables depending on appearances and success. Further clauses stipulate that Barcelona would be due 25% of any future transfer. They have also stipulated a 2 million euro buy back option if they wish to bring Crosas back to the Nou camp.

Direct report from FC Barcelona website.

"FC Barcelona and Glasgow Celtic have almost reached an agreement on the transfer of Marc Crosas for half a million Euros fixed plus 900.000 in variables.

The Barcelona club have almost come to an agreement with Glasgow Celtic for Marc Crosas transfer to the Scottish club. FC Barcelona will receive half a million Euros fixed and 900,000 in variables depending on the player’s appearances, qualification for the Champions League and titles won.

On the other hand, FC Barcelona reserves 25% of the economic rights depending on a possible future transfer and an option to buy him back in 2009/10 for two million Euros."


All that remains is for the player to agree terms and to pass a medical. It seems that this should not pose too much of a problem as the player himself has already stated his desire to join Celtic.
