Barcelona are close to agreeing a deal
to sign Palmeiras striker Keirrison.
The Spanish and European champions have been quiet in the
transfer market so far this summer, but are expected to seal a deal
for Keirrison imminently.
Keirrison, 20, only joined Palmeiras in January following his
impressive exploits for Coritiba, who he top scored with last
season with 21 goals.
Barca president Joan Laporta
has confirmed that an agreement is in place and that an
announcement could soon be made.
"We are close to formalising Keirrison's contract, there's
already a pre-agreement in place," said Laporta.
"Keirrison is a player we have been monitoring for some time and
we expect to announce his signing soon."
