Portuguese midfield star Deco has signed a four-year deal with Barcelona, the Primera Liga side confirmed on Monday.

The 26-year-old will arrive in the Catalan capital on Tuesday for a medical and if all goes according to plan will be presented immediately by the club.

The Brazilian-born Deco, a kingpin both in the Porto team which won the Champions League - he scored in the final against Monaco -and the Portuguese national side which reached the Euro 2004 final, had also been linked to Premiership side Chelsea. He becomes the fifth new signing in the Catalan side after Brazilian defender Juliano Belletti, French midfielder Ludovic Giuly, Swedish striker Henrik Larsson and Dutch defender Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
