Barcelona have reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven for the
transfer of the Holland midfielder and Arsenal target Ibrahim
Afellay.
The deal, which was announced on both clubs' websites on Monday
evening, is still pending an agreement between the Spanish
champions and the player, but if all goes to plan then the Holland
international will move to the Nou Camp when the January transfer
window opens.
Sky's the limit: PSV Eindhoven star Ibrahim Afellay
has earned a move to Barcelona
Barca's statement read: 'PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona have
reached an agreement on a deal to bring Ibrahim Afellay to Barca,
subject to successfully settling personal terms between the player
and the Catalan club over the coming weeks.
'Until the deal is finally settled, Ibrahim Afellay wishes to
concentrate on the upcoming important games for PSV.'
The 24-year-old Afellay's contract with PSV was due to expire at
the end of the season and it was announced last month that he would
not be penning a new deal with the Dutch outfit, with whom he has
spent his whole career so far.
