Antonio Barragán’s deal to join Middlesbrough is moving quickly. Reports from Spain had suggested that the talks to finalise a deal would happen next week, but it seems that the transfer is pretty much done.
According to Cope, the player has missed a training session this morning to arrange his move out of the club. He has already traveled to England for a medical and should be part of Aitor Karanka’s squad soon, all ready for pre-season games.
From what we’ve covered in the past few days, Middlesbrough should pay around €3m for the right-back, who will sign a three-year deal. As Negredo’s deal is a lot more complicated, it should take a bit more time.
