Valencia in talks to sign Rafinha from Barcelona

Valencia are in negotiations with Barcelona over the signing of midfielder Rafinha, with the Catalan club valuing their player at between €15 million (£13m/$16m) and €20 million (£17m/$21m), sources familiar with the deal have confirmed to Goal.

Rafinha has a year left on his current deal at Camp Nou but Barca are keen to cash in on the Brazilian as they look to offload a number of players in order to bring in big-money signings this summer.

Barca are also concerned by the 26-year-old's injury record as he has suffered a number of serious problems in recent seasons, including two torn ligaments.
