Barcelona near deal for Sevilla's Aleix Vidal?

Champions League finalists Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Sevilla defender Aleix Vidal, according to reports.

The 25-year-old, who operates primarily as a wing-back, was recently called up to the Spanish national squad for the first time.

Despite Barcelona not being able to register the player until January 2016 as a consequence of their transfer ban, Vidal is on the verge of joining the La Liga champions for a fee of around £7.3m, reports Sport.

If completed, the move would seem to confirm the departure of Dani Alves, whose contract expires at the end of the month, from Camp Nou.
