Maxi Lopez off to Moscow

The clubs have agreed a fee of two million euros (£1.35million) - for the 23-year-old.

The Argentina forward, who joined Barca in January 2005, had a contract at the Nou Camp until 2009.

Russian daily Sport Express later reported the South American had penned a four-year contract with the Moscow outfit, and was expected to arrive in the capital in the next few days.

Maxi Lopez will become the club's fourth Argentinian player along with Pablo Cesar Barrentos, Hector Bracamonte and Maxi Morales.

The striker had been linked with SPL champions Celtic.
