The former Spain U21 international joins the Azulones after signing a five-season contract with the Madrid side. However, Barcelona have added several clauses into the sale of the La Masia graduate. These include a right to 50% of any future sale of the player, a buyback option and the first right of refusal on any offer for the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Carles Alena joins the Azulones after an impressive loan spell at the Coliseum Alfonso P\u00e9rez during the second half of last season. The Spaniard played 22 times last season and scored the crucial winning goal against Levante that ensured La Liga status for the Azulones.<\/p>\n<h3>Many More to Follow Carles Alena Out of Barcelona this Summer<\/h3>\n<p>Barcelona are in a complete financial mess. Several poor decisions made during the Josep Bartomeu reign has seen the club struggling to balance their books.
