Spanish champions Barcelona have reached a deal to sign David Villa from Valencia for between 40 and 50 million euros, according to reports here on Wednesday.

Villa, Valencia's top scorer in La Liga with 21 goals, will sign for four years, Catalan sports daily Mundo Deportivo reported.

The 28-year-old will be officially unveiled on Friday and will be paid seven million euros (8.6 million dollars) per season, the newspaper added.

The paper said Villa will cost Barcelona 50 million euros but Madrid-based sports daily AS said the deal is worth 40 million euros.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed Tuesday that his side were in talks with Valencia over Villa.

"We're negotiating and everything is on track. We trust that the issue will be resolved shortly," he said.

Villa had been coveted last year by both Barcelona and arch-rivals Real Madrid but the Catalan club finally secured the services of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan in a deal which saw Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o move to the Italian side.
