According to Catalan tabloid SPORT, Barcelona has reached a deal with Leeds United star Raphinha for a summer transfer to Camp Nou.
With Ousmane Dembele's contract set to expire at the end of the season, Blaugrana are on the lookout for a replacement winger ahead of the summer transfer window.
Antony of Ajax has been linked with a move to Camp Nou, although Raphinha of Leeds appears to be their preferred choice.
Deco, the attacker's agent, used to play for Barcelona and has a positive relationship with the club.
Since his agent apparently offered him to the club's hierarchy, the La Liga giants have been in talks with the 25-year-old.
Barcelona and Raphinha have agreed on a five-year contract, according to the aforementioned source.
The pay and contract details with the Brazil international have been worked out by Xavi's side.
Raphinha, according to the report, is willing to accept a deal that complies with the club's new wage philosophy.
He'll start at Camp Nou on a low wage to help Blaugrana with their financial problems, but he'll have the opportunity to increase his earnings through bonuses.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are both interested in Raphinha ahead of the summer transfer window.
He will, however, apparently turn down any other offers to join Barcelona instead.
According to the source, the Brazilian would do everything he can to join the Catalan club ahead of the 2022-23 season.
He'll go so far as to encourage Leeds to accept Barcelona's second bid for him.
Leeds have already turned down a €35 million deal for Raphinha from Blaugrana.
Xavi's team, on the other hand, is expected to return to the table with a better offer for the attacker.
