It's been spoken about in secret but now it's official: Moussa Wague has been promoted to the senior side at FC Barcelona. The club made the announcement this Friday on social media.
Barça confirmed that the Senegalese international will wear the number '16' shirt next season. It's a number previously worn by Xavi Hernández and Sergio Busquets.
Wagué, who returned to training this week, was involved in the African Cup of Nations last month.
