Barca set to sign Brazilian defender Henrique

Tue 22nd, July 2008

Barcelona, Spain (Sports Network) - Barcelona has agreed to a deal with Brazil's Palmeiras to sign defender Henrique.

The 21-year-old Brazilian will join the Catalan club on a five-year deal, which is subject to passing a medical at the Camp Nou.

However, Henrique will not join up with Barcelona straight away after they revealed the promising center back will spend next season on loan in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Henrique Adriano Buss will arrive in Barcelona from Palmeiras to undergo a medical prior to his incorporation in the squad.

"Should he pass the medical, he will sign a contract linking him to FC Barcelona for the next five seasons, the first of which he will play on loan at German club Bayer Leverkusen.

"The cost of the operation between FC Barcelona and Palmeiras is [$12.6 million], plus [$3.1] million more depending on FC Barcelona's ability to qualify for the Champions League this season once the player's loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen has ended."

Meanwhile, Barca are poised to complete the sale of defender Presas Oleguer to Dutch side Ajax.
