In the Spanish media, quite sensational news spread on Tuesday.
"Superdeporte" and "Mundo Deportivo" report that "Barcelona" has finished negotiations with Lisbon's "Sporting" for the acquisition of Bruno Fernandes.
It is announced that "Barcelona" will lend the Portuguese to "Valencia" for half a year, while allowing the Catalans to call the forward Rodrigo until the end of the season.
It is believed that "Barca" agreed to pay 80 million euros for the Portuguese, which allowed the negotiations to be quickly concluded.
B. Fernandes has been linked with a move to "Man Utd" throughout January, but the deal did not go through as the English club refused to pay the amount requested by "Sporting."
The 25-year-old Portuguese scored 15 goals in 28 matches this season.
However, the media in Portugal and England contradicted their colleagues from Spain - it is claimed that "Man Utd" has not yet withdrawn from the battle.
According to "Sky Sports," the Manchester club has presented a new offer that brings B. Fernandes closer to a move to England. The amount discussed is around 55 million euros with possible bonuses.
