Barcelona are edging closer to signing Valencia striker Paco Alcacer, as Luis Enrique looks to bolster his attacking line.
Silvia Gonzalez of Spanish outlet Sport wrote that although Alcacer was deemed “non-transferable” by Valencia, Barca’s strong relationship with their La Liga rivals has pushed the transfer near completion.
Now, Sport’s Lluis Miguelsanz has reported that the deal is in advanced stages and all but done, despite the fact that neither club has signed on the dotted line as of yet.
That’s because Valencia majority shareholder Peter Lim met with Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez on Friday, when he reportedly reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of Alcacer.
