David Barral makes history as first player to be signed exclusively with Bitcoin

Spanish league side, Inter Madrid new signee, David Barral, has become the first player in football history to be signed exclusively with Bitcoin.

Boadilla del Monte-based club has unveiled the 37-year-old forward who has been without a club since July 2020.

No one knows the value of the move as of the time of this report but the Spanish FA is yet to acknowledge the deal, and this is a major concern on the future cryptocurrency.

The club took to their social media page to appreciate their sponsors for making the dream come to pass after the successful signing of the player.

“David Barral new player of DUX Internacional de Madrid, welcome to the infinite club! He becomes the first signing in history in cryptocurrencies. Thanks to Criptan, our new sponsor, for making it possible,” the club wrote.

Meanwhile, the Spanish forward while reacting to the move expressed joy saying he is more than proud to be a part of the good thing the club is doing.

He said; “Glad to join the project of @interdemadrid with the ambition and responsibility to continue competing and achieve important challenges in my sports career.”
