Only the signature is missing

Achilles Álvarez, president of Barcelona SC's Football Commission, confirmed to EL UNIVERSO that winger Michael Arroyo is "practically" a torero player for the 2018 season.

If the signing is made official in the next few hours, it will be Arroyo's third jersey for an Ecuadorian club. The Ecuadorian has also been with Barcelona in 2012, the year he won the national title with the canaries.

The Ecuadorian player will arrive from Gremio de Porto Alegre, where he was not successful and was referred to as "Gremio's problem player" in a publication by Zero Hora. (D)
