Report: Barcelona, Valencia close to agreement for Paco Alcácer transfer

The dream signing of a fourth forward might finally be happening at Barcelona.

According to multiple reports in Spain, including from Catalan radio RAC1 and Mundo Deportivo (meaning you can trust these reports), the Catalan giants are in advanced negotiations with Valencia to sign striker Paco Alcácer. The two clubs are discussing a €25 million deal, as well as a season loan of either Munir El-Haddadi or Sergi Samper to The Bats (or both).

Alcácer has been a Barça target for many years, ever since the forward shined for the U-17 Spanish national team. Paco, as he's most commonly known, is a fast striker who is comfortable with playing on the wings, if needed.
