Abel Ruiz to leave Barcelona and join Braga on loan with obligation to buy

Abel Ruiz has become the latest player to leave Barcelona this winter and he'll spend the rest of the season on loan at SC Braga.

Although the Catalans' transfer market hasn't gone totally to plan, with frustration in their attempts to sign Rodrigo Moreno from Valencia, they have been willing to let players leave.

Carles Perez, too, is on the verge of leaving the Camp Nou for Roma.

Ruiz is off to Portugal and SC Braga will have to buy him outright at the end of the season.

In total, the transfer will cost the club about 10 million euros, including fixed sums and variables.
