The Barca B forward is poised to leave for a potential fee of 10 million euros

Abel Ruiz will sign for Sporting Braga. The Valencia-born forward will travel on Wednesday to the Portuguese city. It will end the days of rumours about the Barca B striker's future.

He will take the medical on Wednesday and sign a contract that links him there for five years. He is in theory going on loan but Sporting have agreed on an obligatory purchase clause of 10m euros for the forward. Barcelona will have some kind of re-purchase clause.

Ruiz leaves without really getting a chance in the first team. He played 21 minutes against Getafe last season. Even without Suarez, Quique Setien will not use him.

Sporting Lisbon, Valencia and Alaves were also linked but Braga will pay a club record fee to sign him.
