Barcelona have completed the signing of Mali international midfielder Seydou Keita from La Liga rivals Sevilla.
The 28-year-old has signed a four-year contract at the Camp Nou and is reported to have cost Barca around 14million euros.
Keita told his new club's official website: "I am very happy because Barcelona is a great club.
"My decision is very important because I had offers from many clubs, but I have liked Barca for a long time.
"Everything was very easy since I wanted to play for Barca. What was most difficult was the agreement between Sevilla and Barcelona.
"I don't like speaking because I think that in football you don't have to speak a lot off the pitch.
"I only want to say that I hope to bring a lot to Barca, as much and in the same way that I did in Sevilla."
