Barcelona are closing a deal for Rayo Vallecano wing-back Sergio Akieme.

The left-sided defender will sign for Barca B, says RAC1.

Barca agreed terms with Rayo for Akieme last week, though the move will only be rubberstamped once a replacement is found.

As such, Rayo were in talks with Cadiz last night for Brian Olivan.

Barca expect a deal for Akieme to be completed this afternoon.
