Borussia Dortmund's Lucas Barrios to make China move

Dortmund's Barrios to make China move

Borussia Dortmund striker Lucas Barrios will reportedly join Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande at the end of the season.

The Paraguay international played a key role in Dortmund's title success last season, but has seen little game time this year.

The 27-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract with the Chinese Super League outfit, according to Bild. The German champions are said to have accepted a bid believed to be in the region of €12m (£10m).

Barrios was close to leaving the club in the January transfer window, but a proposed move to Premier League side Fulham fell through. There was also rumoured interest of French side Marseille and Spanish big spenders Malaga, though both failed to develop into a serious move.

The Argentine-born forward has made 98 appearances for Jurrgen Klopp's side, scoring 46 goals.
