Leeds United attacker Raphinha is reportedly set to undergo his Barcelona medical on Wednesday ahead of completing his €58m (£49.2m) move to Camp Nou.
The Catalan giants have allegedly agreed a fee with the Premier League outfit to sign the 25-year-old in a deal which could rise to €68m (£57.7m) with add-ons.
Chelsea have also had a bid for Raphinha accepted by Leeds, but Barca have seemingly won the race for the Brazilian, who is now edging closer to finalising his dream move to Catalonia.
Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch has confirmed that the club are in talks with Barca over Raphinha's transfer to the La Liga giants, and the American expects the deal to "move along in the next day or two".
According to Spanish media outlet COPE, via The Sun, Raphinha will fly to Spain on Wednesday and meet with Barca officials before undergoing his medical.
The report adds that Barca are hoping the transfer can be concluded quickly as they are keen to include the attacker in Xavi's squad for their pre-season tour of the USA.
Raphinha trained at Leeds' Thorp Arch training complex on Tuesday after being left out of the club's pre-season tour of Australia.
The former Rennes attacker is set to depart the West Yorkshire outfit after two years at Elland Road, where he scored 17 goals and provided 12 assists in 67 games across all tournaments.
