Barcelona are set to win the race for Coritiba star Keirrison. Sport says Barca have been maintaining talks with Traffic, the investment company which owns Keirrison's registration, and will sign the young forward at the end of the season.

While talks are continuing with Samuel Eto'o over a new contract, Barca president Joan Laporta has made contingency plans by moving for Keirrison.

The young Brazilian is also wanted by Valencia and Real Madrid, but Laporta is confident of winning the player's signature thanks to their good relationship with Traffic.
