Summary
- Barcelona has signed Josue Caceido from LDU Quito.
- The loan includes a buy-option that can become an obligation.
- LDU Quito retains a stake in Caceido's future sale value.
FC Barcelona has completed the signing of young Ecuadorian talent Josue Caceido from LDU Quito through a loan agreement. The 18-year-old left-back is set to spend at least one season with the Catalan club, with his primary role being with Juliano Belletti's Barca Atletic squad.
This deal includes a $2.85 million buy-option, which has the potential to convert into a mandatory purchase if Caceido makes four senior team appearances under coach Hansi Flick. Furthermore, LDU Quito has secured a 20% stake in any future transfer of the player.
Caceido, recognized for his speed and attacking capabilities, garnered attention from multiple European clubs after his performances in the U-20 Copa Libertadores. Barcelona's acquisition not only targets his immediate potential but also future resale value, with young players frequently receiving preseason opportunities with Flick's first team.
