Granada are counting on signing Barcelona midfielder Alex Collado today.

Granada hopes to be able to close the signing of Collado in a matter of hours. There is an agreement with Barcelona, but some administrative issues are holding up the move.

Collado has been in the Nasrid city for about 15 days and has even been able to witness two home games.

Granada are hopeful Collado will be an official player from today.

The midfielder will join in a straight loan to the end of the season.
