Having already signed two players in the current summer transfer window, Barcelona look to add a third signing very soon, with the Blaugrana tipped to land Lucas Digne.
According to Marca, the Catalan giants have struck a deal with PSG – his current employers – and could finalize deal before Friday. Should the transfer push through, Digne will be competition for Jordi Alba in the starting eleven.
Digne – 22 – played for Roma last season in the Serie A on loan, but the Italian side passed up on the option of permanently signing the full-back. He thus returned to the Ligue 1 champions, but could soon head to Spain.
Terms have been agreed with Les Parisiens, with the reigning Spanish Primera Division holder expected to fork out €16m for the Bleues left-back.
If Digne's Camp Nou move materializes, he will become Barca’s third new player of this summer, after Denis Suarez – who signed from Villarreal – and Samuel Umtiti.
The latter of the Blaugrana’s two summer signings joined the Spanish giants from Lyon, having played in France’s 1-0 defeat to Portugal in the UEFA Euro 2016 final.
Umtiti was signed on Tuesday, meaning that the former Lyon man and Digne could be unveiled and presented to the fans on the same day.
