Borussia Dortmund sign Paco Alcacer for bargain £22m on Black Friday
Red-hot Spanish forward has signed at the Bundesliga leaders until 2023 in an outrageously shrewd piece of spending
BORUSSIA DORTMUND have signed Paco Alcacer for a bargain £22million in their own piece of Black Friday magic.
The red-hot Spanish forward, 25, has signed permanently for the Bundesliga leaders from Barcelona until 2023 in an outrageously shrewd piece of spending.
Alcacer has scored a ridiculous 12 goals in ten games in all competitions this season while on loan at Dortmund.
It's thought Dortmund had inserted the £22m clause into the loan deal in the summer from Barcelona.
But his sensational form in Germany has seen his stock skyrocket - and is worth far more than the minimal fee paid by the Bundesliga giants.
The 15-cap Spain international has already scored nine times for his country, including three goals in two games this season - against Wales and England.
Alcacer failed to fulfil his potential at Barcelona, as he sat behind the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi in the pecking order down the years.
But the change of scenery has appeared to pay dividends, with the Spaniard a key reason Dortmund sit top of the league this season.
Alcacer kicked off his career at Valencia in 2010, scoring 30 times in 93 La Liga games to seal his huge move to the Nou Camp.
But in two years, Alcacer played just 37 times, scoring ten goals - mostly off the bench - before he was allowed to leave on loan.
