Spanish daily Marca claim that Deportivo La Coruña's Portugal central defender Jorge Andrade is likely to be Barça's first signing this summer.
Andrade, who has endured a frustrating season at Depor, had previously said that he would be open to a move to either Barça or rivals Valencia this summer.
Deportivo meanwhile look happy to cash in on their star defender as they are heavily in debt. The transfer will apparently be completed after the Primera División season reaches its conclusion this Sunday.
It is thought the management see Andrade as the perfect player to parter captain Carles Puyol in central defence as Lilian Thuram and Rafael Márquez have both been suspect at times this season.
