However, the Spanish talisman is all set to end speculation, by putting pen to paper on a lucrative new deal with the Los Blancos, reports The Sun. The reports claim that Florentino Perez has admitted that it is almost done and that a formal announcement will be made shortly.

Barcelona keen on signing Marseille midfielder Maxime Lopez

Barcelona failed to snatch Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool, to fill in Neymar's shoes. They did, however, sign Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund. After an eventful transfer window, Barcelona are now reportedly targeting a 19-year old wonder-kid.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Marseille midfielder Maxime Lopez is now on the Catalan club's radar, and that Ernesto Valverde is closely monitoring the teenager, and has reportedly already met with the player's representatives over a potential move.
