Valencia have reportedly moved closer to securing the signing of Barcelona midfielder Rafinha.
The 26-year-old has spent the majority of his professional career at Camp Nou, making a total of 86 appearances for the Catalan giants in all competitions.
However, the versatile Brazilian is now deemed surplus to requirements, which has left the door open for a move to Valencia throughout this summer.
According to Sport, all three parties are increasingly keen to get a deal over the line in the coming weeks, with Rafinha having less than a year remaining on his contract.
A serious knee injury has meant that Rafinha has not made a first-team outing for Barcelona since November.
