Sergio Aguero will join Barcelona on a free transfer following his departure from Manchester City.
The 32-year-old underwent a medical at Camp Nou on Monday before signing a two-year contract with the Blaugrana.
Barca moved for Aguero after City’s decision to let the striker go at the end of his contract, bringing to an end his trophy-laden ten-year spell in Manchester.
Aguero is set to link up with his international team-mate and close friend Messi at Camp Nou, and they will be expected to strike up a strong partnership as the Blaugrana aim to return to elite level on both domestic and European fronts.
