Barcelona striker Abel Ruiz is leaving for Sporting Braga.

The Valencia-born forward will travel on Wednesday to the Portuguese city, says Sport.

It will end the days of rumours about the Barca B striker's future.

He will take the medical on Wednesday and sign a contract that links him there for five years.

He is in theory going on loan but Sporting have agreed on an obligatory purchase clause of 10m euros for the forward. Barcelona will have some kind of re-purchase clause.
