"Barcelona" negotiates for Luccino © EuroFootball.com

Footballer Peter Luccino's agent has confirmed that his client is close to a transfer to Barcelona.

Antonio Caliendo says that the Frenchman is one of the three defensive midfielders that Barcelona is interested in, and he will play for the Catalan team next year regardless of the negotiations with Edgar Davids.

Last season, Luccino had already agreed with representatives for a move to "Santiago Bernabeu", but then "Celta" did not allow him to leave. However, if the Vigo club drops to a lower Spanish league, the Frenchman should definitely leave his team.
