The Catalonia club officially announced loaning defender Rafael Alcantara to Vigo's "Celta" team. The Galician team will be represented by the football player until the end of the 2013-2014 season.
The defender, better known by his nickname Rafinha, recently extended his contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2016. However, the leaders of the Catalan team revealed that the promising player will be loaned to another team in order to get more playing time on the field. The player himself did not object to the loan.
In addition to the arrival of defender Andreu Fontas from the Catalan club, Vigo's "Celta" team, which barely survived in the highest division of Spanish football last season, will also be coached by former Barcelona player and youth academy strategist Luis Enrique.
Last season, Rafinha played 36 matches and scored 10 goals for Barcelona B team.
