"When I signed for Barça, my father got emotional and cried"

Signing for Barcelona meant the world for Emre Demir. It is a reward for his constant progression during the last couple of years and for his parents' work during that time. 

"I can not put into words how I felt. My father and I used to dream about this. We were all day together for a year. When the transfer was completed, my father got emotional and cried", said the young player. 

Barcelona has established a 400 million euros release clause in case anyone wants to sign Kayserispor's wonderkid, a club that really helped him develop as a footballer in the Turkish league.

"My father resigned from his job in Mersin and came to Kayseri for me. He had a new job here working for Kayserispor. He supported me a lot during my development as a player", said Demir.

"My agent Ahmet Bulut never informed me about how the Barcelona deal was going. He just called one day and said: 'We are going to Istambul, you are signing for a great team'. As I wasn't old enough to sign a professional contract, my parents came along. Then I saw Barcelona's name on the contract. Mom and Dad couldn't hold it together", claimed Barcelona's newest signing.
