Media reports in Spain said Barca will pay 12 million euros for the 23-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan.

Deulofeu has been capped three times at full international level and is currently at the under-21 European Championship in Poland with Spain, who face Germany in Friday’s final.

Meanwhile, Barcelona announced that winger Cristian Tello has been sold to La Liga rivals Real Betis for four million euros, rising potentially to five million euros with bonuses.

Tello, 25, has signed a five-year deal with the Seville side. He spent last season on loan at Italian outfit Fiorentina.
