Rafinha closer to signing for Valencia

It is less than two weeks until the transfer window closes and the clubs are continuing to work to put the finishing touches on their respective squads. 

In Valencia's case, Marcelino wants to put the icing on the cake with the arrival of Rafinha, a player who in principle does not seem to figure in Barcelona's plans. 

Nevertheless, the Brazilian, as a result of the injury to Suarez in Bilbao, had to come on and impressed Valverde. That could stop him leaving. 

This Monday, 'SER Valencia' reported that Barca and Valencia may have reached an agreement for a loan deal which would cost around 15 million. The exact price will apparently be determined by the player's fitness.
