Chygrynskiy will be official on Saturday

Catalan sports newspaper Sportreports that transfer target Dmytro Chygrynskiy will officially join FC Barcelona this Saturday.

The reason for the delay is that Shakhtar Donetsk president Rinat Akhmetov does not want to make anything official before the European Super Cup against Barca Friday in Monaco.

Akhmetov would also like Chygrynskiy, a member of the Ukrainian national team, to appear at the opening of the Donbass Arena, Shakhtar's new stadium, on Saturday.

After these events, Chygrynskiy will be allowed to join Barca on a 25 million euro transfer. Sport reports that this number was reached after Barca had offered to pay 3 million euros for a 1-year loan with a 22 million euro purchase option. Akhmetov countered with the 25 million offer all-inclusive, and Barca accepted.
