The transfer fee could rise by another 1.5 million euros (1.19 million pounds) depending on the number of games the 24-year-old right back plays.
The five-year contract is pending a medical later this week in Spain, the Catalan club said on their website.
His signing is the latest in a busy off-season for Barcelona, who are prohibited from signing players in the next two transfer windows after they were found to have breached rules on the signing of underage players.
