It's also announced official in the Spanish and Catalan section of the Barca site.
I'm very pleased with this signing. £12m or so may seem expensive but it was a much better deal than £20m for Pepe (or we'll see).
Barca have said they also don't want to sell Marquez and the papers are dubbing him as the "no.12" in that he is first backup at CB and also first backup as DM and with Puyol out for near 2 months of the season it will probably be Marquez - Milito for a lot of it and Marquez will play DM when Yaya goes to the African Nations.
