“We have received an offer but it is still being studied and evaluated,” Barca’s board spokesman Toni Freixa was quoted as saying on the club website.
“Obviously, if we were prepared to receive this offer and consider it, it is because there is a possibility we could go through with it.”
Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini had told Gazzetta dello Sport: “The negotiations are going well and we hope to conclude the deal soon.”
“We reached an agreement with Barcelona and with the player last night.”
