Barcelona reach an agreement to sign Deportivo La Coruna centre-back Sidnei in this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Barcelona have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Deportivo La Coruna centre-back Sidnei in this summer's transfer window.

The Catalan giants are believed to be in the market for a new central defender this summer as Marc Bartra prepares to depart and Javier Mascherano reportedly considers his future.

According to AS, Barcelona have moved quickly to agree a deal for Brazilian defender Sidnei, who has two years left on his current deal in La Coruna.

However, the same report claims that the deal could become complicated due to Deportivo still owing Benfica £2.3m on his 2015 transfer.

The 26-year-old made 33 La Liga appearances for Deportivo during the 2015-16 campaign.
