Report: Barcelona secure first signing for next season, Sevilla striker Kevin Gameiro

It looks as though Barcelona have found, and signed, their much desired backup to the best attacking trio in the world.

The Catalan giants have reached a verbal agreement with Sevilla to sign striker Kevin Gameiro on a permanent deal, Barça Blaugranes has learned. The Frenchman will arrive this summer at the opening of the transfer window and sign a four-year contract with the Blaugrana.

Gameiro has been linked with Barça for a few months, but the interest from the club has intensified in the last few months when the first option transfer, Celta Vigo winger Nolito, did not work.
