Sunday’s home match against Betis will be his final Camp Nou appearance.

With his contract expiring in June, both Milan and Juventus had already been monitoring the situation closely, and now that his departure is confirmed, the race to sign one of world football’s most decorated strikers as a free agent begins in earnest.
