David Villa Passes Medical, Finalizes Barcelona Transfer

Medical clearance has held-up deals we had previously thought completed. Last summer, a player’s teeth led to concerns that he will have poor posture in the future. That was enough to cancel a deal.

Apparently (inferentially), David Villa’s teeth are fine, and with not fingernail, follicle, or overarching eyebrow issues, the striker is now officially a former Valencia player. Villa’s cleared medical with his new club completes the €40 million move announced Wednesday:

The two clubs agreed a fee of 40 million euros for the player on Wednesday and a statement on club website www.fcbarcelona.cat today confirmed: “David Villa is now officially the first signing for 2010/11.

“He signed the contract that will keep him at the club for the next four seasons with an option for another.”
