It is reported that the fee for Barrios is 4.5 million euros.

  3. I would not say prolific since he plays in a lower­ quality league such as the Chilean league but­ considering he will have better teammates in Germany­ and obviously tougher competition i think this guy can­ score 12-14 goals a year.
