Barry made the move to Barcelona over the summer after spending 10 years at West Bromwich Albion this despite French giants PSG having made an offer for him.

The deal, however, is compounded by some legal drama as West Brom are yet to see the £235,000 in compensation Barcelona owes them for the player, despite reporting the matter to FIFA.

Barry has also had trouble getting his football career at Barcelona due to a delay in processing his registration with FIFA, which caused him to miss out on playing with the U-19s despite an impressive pre-season playing up top with Ansu Fati, amongst others.
