Report: Barcelona complete Diego Alves transfer from Valencia

After losing Claudio Bravo to Manchester City, Barcelona have acted quickly to find a new goalkeeper.

Multiple reports in Spain suggest that the Catalan giants have completed the transfer of Valencia keeper Diego Alves, who will join Barça on a four-year contract. The club will pay Valencia a €8 million fee, and all parties involved in the deal have reached an agreement.

Claudio Bravo will travel to Manchester on Thursday to complete his City move, and he's likely to play his Barcelona farewell match on Wednesday night at Camp Nou, in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla.
