Barcelona have confirmed that attacking midfielder Rafinha has moved to Celta Vigo on a season-long loan deal.
The Brazilian had extended his contract with the Blaugrana until 2016 last month and will now be afforded the chance of significant first-team football with Luis Enrique’s side, with each side confirming the deal on their official website.
“FC Barcelona and Celta have agreed to terms for the player Rafael Alcantara, who will join the Celestes for the 2013/14 season on loan,” read Barca’s statement.

“At Celta, Rafinha will join up with former team-mates Fontas and Nolito.
“The midfielder, 20 years old, was one of Eusebio [Sacristan]‘s go-to men throughout the 2012-13 season, where he played a total of 36 matches in the league, 35 of which as a starter. He scored 10 goals for Barca B.”
