Borussia Dortmund striker Lucas Barrios has agreed to join Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande at the end of the season.

A statement from the German club revealed that the Paraguay international's loyalty in previous seasons was the major factor behind their decision to accept an offer from their Chinese counterparts.

"Lucas Barrios won two Bundesliga titles with us and in 82 league games scored 39 goals, so that is why we met his wish to change clubs and play first-team football," read the statement on the club's official website.

Barrios was heavily linked with a move to Fulham during the January transfer window.
