Barca Agree Terms With Milito, Zaragoza Deal Close

Reports out of Spain suggest that Gabriel Milito is on the verge of a move to Barcelona.



The move has been in the offing ever since the Chivu deal fell through over wage demands, with Barcelona moving quickly for the Argentine, and the player himself sending out all the right signals.

A final decision was set to be made only after the Copa America, but it seems like Barcelona want to seal the deal without much ado.

As expected this time around, they have spoken about the player's wage demands well before making an approach, during informal negotiations with the Milito's agent.

Spanish dailies Marca and Sport are both claiming that Barcelona have agreed a four year deal with the Argentine international, worth four million euros a season.

An agreement with Real Zaragoza is also said to be close, with a deal in the region of 18-20 million euros set to be struck.

As Goal.com had reported yesterday, the La Romareda bosses are asking for no less than 20m (which was what turned Juventus away), while Barcelona are trying to throw Thiago Motta and Santi Ezquerro into the deal, to reduce the cash component.
