Barcelona close in on Paco Alcacer deal

Barcelona are closing in on a deal to sign Paco Alcacer from Valencia, according to Sport. 

Valencia reportedly backed away from the deal to avoid angering their supporters but the player's desire to join Barca is now likely to push it through. 

The Spanish champions know they will have to pay around €30 million plus add-ons to secure the signing of the 22-year-old.
