Chelsea F.C. have reached a full agreement to sign Argentine defender Valentín Barco, with the deal now close to being completed ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, RC Strasbourg Alsace agreed to let the player leave following his impressive performances throughout the season, which attracted strong interest from the Premier League side.
The report added that Chelsea had been working on the transfer for some time, dating back to the period when former Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior was in charge and keen to keep the player or reunite with him in the future.
Chelsea are expected to finalize the signing in June, while questions remain over how Xabi Alonso plans to use the versatile Argentine, who is capable of playing in multiple positions, particularly on the left flank.
