Villa, who has agreed a four-year contract, has long been linked with a move to the Spanish champions after five seasons at the Mestalla. The 28-year-old is Barcelona’s first summer signing, with Cesc Fabregas also among their targets.
“FC Barcelona and Valencia CF closed a £34.2 million deal for Spanish striker David Villa on Wednesday morning. The Spanish international is due in Barcelona on Thursday evening and will have a medical on Friday morning.
“He’ll then make an appearance on the Camp Nou pitch. The stadium doors will be opened to the public.”
Villa scored 107 goals in 166 league matches for Valencia after establishing himself with Real Zaragoza. He is a regular in Spain’s first-team and was a member of the Euro 2008-winning squad.
Villa’s arrival is likely to lead to increased speculation over the futures of Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the Nou Camp.
