Benfica are reportedly close to securing the services of Barcelona youngster Alex Grimaldo.
It is believed that the 20-year-old is highly regarded at Camp Nou, but he is yet to make a senior appearance for the Catalans.
However, according to A Bola, the left-back has agreed a contract with the Portuguese outfit until the summer of 2020.
The report adds that Benfica will pay a fee in the region of £750,000 for Grimaldo, who started his career in the youth ranks of Valencia.
