With the centre-back's Valencia contract up on June 30th, Mariano Konyk will join Barcelona's youth set-up immediately after that date, as the two parties have reached an agreement for the move.

The 19-year-old centre-back isn't expected to see many first-team minutes anytime soon, but is considered a prospect for the future.

Valencia couldn't prevent the player from negotiating with the Blaugrana as his contract neared its end.
