It's official.
After a tremendously hectic summer in which he has been linked with a more than notable number of clubs, Brazilian midfielder Rafinha leaves FC Barcelona. Thus, the new destination of the former Brazilian international will be in the ranks of Celta de Vigo.
This will be the player's second experience in the Galician team, where during the 2013-2014 season he accumulated a total of 36 official matches, scoring 4 goals. Linked incessantly with Valencia, where Marcelino had made him one of his priorities, the player finally lands in Balaídos on loan.
He does so after renewing his contract with FC Barcelona, one of the demands set by the culé team to allow his departure. Thus, despite his good performance in the three matches he has played under Ernesto Valverde's orders since the beginning of the season, this has not been enough to continue wearing the culé jersey.
