Barcelona B midfielder Rafael Alcântara has hinted that he will be moving to Celta Vigo on loan.

Better known as Rafinha, the younger brother of reportedly Bayern Munich bound Thiago Alcântara had been strongly expected to move to the Galicians this summer, upon agreeing a contract extension at the Camp Nou.

Despite late interest rumoured to from Premier League side Everton, the Brazilian born 20-year-old has indicated through his official Twitter account that his destination is Vigo, where his mother hails from, reports Football Espana.

“Mum and Celta fans, I’m returning home…” posted Rafinha on the social networking site on Thursday afternoon.

Despite being yet to feature for the Barcelona first team he has been a regular for Barcelona B over the past few seasons.

Joining Celta means he will link up with former Barcelona B coach Luis Enrique who left his role in 2011 and now holds the regins at Celta Vigo, via a spell at Italian club Roma.
