Barcelona are on the verge of an agreement with Real Betis over a loan move for Rafinha, Goal understands.
The two sides have been in talks over a deal for some time as Barca wanted to include an obligation for Betis to buy at the end of the season.
The Seville side would rather have the option to send him back, however, and are set to get their way after a meeting on Thursday.
Before he goes, Rafinha will likely extend his contract at Barca to 2021 as the Catalan side look to avoid losing him for a cut price.
