Behind the scenes, the sports director Blaugrana Deco would be optimistic for a signature before July 13, so that the 22-year-old winger can start pre-season with the Catalan club.

Could the case still condom? A priori not. The player's agent, Félix Tainta, would have informed the Basque training of the will of the Spanish international to spin at Barça, where a six -year lease and an annual salary of 12 million euros would await him. The reigning Spanish champions should settle its release clause, estimated at around 60 million euros.
