Barcelona are wrapping up the signing of Palmeiras midfielder Matheus Fernandes today.

Barca have been in talks to sign Matheus for much of the January market and AS says a deal is set to be settled today for a fee of €7m.

It was originally expected Matheus would be joining Barca B for the remainder of the season.

However, the 21 year-old is now set to move to Ronaldo's Real Valladolid on-loan to June.

In a farewell note to Palmeiras fans, Matheus wrote: "Today is the day to realise the dream of traveling to Europe. I thank God for everything he has given me. Soon, new challenges goals and dreams. Let's move on, this is just the beginning."
