Barcelona have struck an agreement with Seville over star striker Julio Baptista.
Sources close to the player have told AS that Baptista at thend of next season when he will get his long awaited Spanish passport which makes him an EU player.
The Brazil international has given Barca first option on his services, with a deal not locked in as the Spanish champs still fancy
Arsenal star Thierry Henry. But in the event
Arsenal continue to hold out for £50 million for the Frenchman, Barca will take Baptista as an alternative.
Powerhouse Baptista has a buyout clause of £24 million, but is now closer to quitting Seville following the exit of coach Joaquin Caparros last week.
Do you think they should sign him?
