The Baggies youngster has left The Hawthorns and Albion are reportedly angry with the Spanish club.
A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that highly rated youth striker Louie Barry has joined Barcelona.
The 16-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the La Liga side after being signed from The Hawthorns, where he had been learning the ropes since he joining the club at six years old.
Barca’s official website announced the news on Thursday, confirming that Barry – who can play centre-forward and on the right wing – will be part of the Catalan club’s Under-19 side next season.
According to Sky Sports News, West Brom and the Football Association are yet to complete the paperwork required for Barry to play in Spain, and it also reported that the Championship club considers the compensation fee of £235,000 to be “totally insufficient”.
A report in The Guardian, meanwhile, claimed that Barry had a medical with Paris Saint-Germain before Barcelona stepped in at the last minute and convinced him to join their ranks at La Masia, the club’s famed academy.
Here is what some Baggies fans on the social media platform made of Barry’s switch to Barca and the additional reports relating to the move:
