Barça target Paco Alcacer not in Valencia matchday 18 to face Eibar

Barça target Paco Alcacer not in Valencia matchday 18 to face Eibar

Valencia striker Paco Alcacer was called up by Pako Ayestaran for the game against Eibar on Saturday night but was not picked in the matchday squad.

Alcacer is close to signing for Barcelona for 30 million euros plus five more in add-ons.

Barcelona are hoping to close the deal in the next day or two, with the aim of presenting him on Monday before he joins up with the Spanish national team for the international break.

He is the chosen fourth forward and Alcacer's arrival will see Munir El Haddadi leave on loan. He had an agreement with Celtic but Valencia are negotiating to take him as a replacement for Alcacer.
