Nolito has not agreed a deal to join Barcelona, says Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Berizzo
The 29-year-old forward had reportedly agreed a loan switch to the Nou Camp yesterday, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.
It was claimed Barca had agreed to match his £13million buy-out clause but would delay the full payment by loaning the attacker in order to help balance their books.
The comments will come as a boost to Arsenal who have also been linked with the Spain international and reportedly held talks with Celta Vigo.
Nolito has made 15 La Liga appearances this term and has an impressive eight goals and five assists to his name.
