Jeffren Suarez nears Sporting move

Barcelona winger Jeffren Suarez is on the verge of signing for Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, the player's father and representative has confirmed.

The Spain Under-21 international has been heavily linked with a move away from the Nou Camp with a host of Spanish and foreign clubs interested in the player.

On Monday it was reported that Portuguese side Sporting had secured an agreement in principle to sign the player for a fee of around €5million. Barca supposedly inserted a buy-back option into the deal.

The player's father Efren Suarez appeared to reveal the news in a separate interview with a different media outlet, A BOLA.

"Things are going in a really nice direction; there are only a few details about the deal left," Suarez told A BOLA.

Jeffren made his debut for Barca in the Copa del Rey in the 2006/07 season but failed to cement his place in the side and has only managed a further 34 appearances since. The 23-year-old made 13 appearances for Barca in all competitions last season, netting only one goal.
