Barcelona and Juventus close in on Marques-Pereira swap deal

Barcelona and Juventus are set to complete a swap deal that would see Alejandro Marques depart Spain to join the Old Lady with Matheus Pereira heading the other way.

The two clubs have come to terms on a deal involving the two players, one which is seen as a move that will strengthen the relationships between both parties.

While the two clubs were able to get a deal for the two up-and-comers over the line, there will be no agreement involving Ivan Rakitic and Federico Bernardeschi as swap talks date back to the summer but have not progressed in recent months.
