The 21-year-old central defender is expected to land in Barcelona on Thursday evening, and the transfer will be made official once his documentation has been processed and all parties put pen to paper.

One of the conditions in the agreement stipulates that Espanyol will have an option to purchase the player for a reported €3 million once the loan term is over. 

Roncaglia was promoted to Boca’s first team in 2007. In two seasons, he has made 31 appearances, with two goals to his name.

He will act as a replacement for Sergio Sanchez and Marc Torrejon, who have signed for Sevilla and Racing Santander respectively.
