Marlon Santos will complete his permanent move to Barcelona this summer
The Brazilian defender has spent a year on loan at the club which included the option to make the move permanent.
And his agent Fred Moraes says everything is in place to complete the deal.
However it is still unclear if he will stay at the club or go out on loan next season.
"It's been done for a while - everything is finalised between Barca and Fluminense," Moraes told Radio Barcelona.
"The next thing now is to speak with the club, with [Barca directors] Andre Cury in Brazil and with Raul Sanllehi, to see what's best for next season.
"The club have already decided [to make the deal permanent], but there's still a decision to be made moving forward.
"Our idea is for Marlon to stay at Barcelona for many years and to continue learning, as he's doing at the moment."
