Nahuel joins from Betis, where he is currently on loan from Villarreal

The Spain U21 player will undergo a medical on Tuesday in the Catalan city

Matías Nahuel Leiva will join Barcelona B until the end of the season after a three-way agreement was reached between Villarreal, the player's owners, Real Betis, the club where the forward's on loan, and the Catalans. 

Nahuel will arrive in Barcelona on Tuesday, where he will undergo a medical before his move to the Blaugrana's second team is officially announced. 

The Spain U21 winger was born in Rosario, Argentina, 21 years ago. He is a nationalised Spaniard, though, and came through the ranks at Villarreal, making his debut for the club's first team in 2014. 

In the summer of 2016, he joined Betis on a two-year loan deal with an option to buy, but he has only played 19 games for the Seville-based club in 18 months. 

Nahuel is Barça B's third signing of the month following the arrivals of midfielder Cristian Rivera from Eibar and defender Martin Hongla from Granada.
