Valencia confirm signing of Brazilian midfielder Barbosa from Sporting Braga

Xinhua, July 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

Spanish BBVA Primera Liga club Valencia have confirmed the signing of the Brazilian defensive midfielder Danilo Barbosa from Sporting Braga.

The 19-year-old joins Valencia on loan for a season from the Portuguese club, while Valencia also have the option to make the contract permanent at the end of the current season.

"I am very happy to be able to sign for this great club and to get to know the ground. It is a moment that makes me very happy. Valencia are a club with a long history and I am going to do all I can for this shirt," Barbosa told the official Valencia website.

Barbosa's signing shows that the club who finished fourth in the BBVA Primera Liga last season are working hard to prepare for their participation in next season's Champions League.

The club has already signed Celta Vigo's young striker Santi Mino and Benfica defender Joao Cancelo, while turning the loan deals of strikers Rodrigo and Alvaro Negredo as well as that of midfielder Andre Gomes into permanent moves. Endi
