Barcelona have confirmed the signing of David Villa after the striker passed a medical at the Nou Camp on Friday.
The Spain star has signed a four-year deal after the Catalan side agreed a £34.2m fee with former club Valencia. The 28-year-old is Barcelona's first summer capture, with Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas also said to be a target.
"Anybody would be happy to come to a club like this - as everybody says, this is the best team in the world," Villa told Barcelona's website.
"I'm very happy and proud to be here."
Barcelona also have the option of extending Villa's contract by another 12 months as well as negotiating a huge buyout clause of 200m Euros (£174.39m).
The man from Asturias, in the north of Spain, is a regular in his country's first team and will be highly fancied to make a big impact at the World Cup.
