The Catalan giants, which was seeking a replacement for Sylvinho, had been negotiating with Deportivo La Coruña for defender Filipe Luís but could not agree on the transfer fee.

A statement on Barça's official website read: "Barcelona and Inter Milan have agreed in principle the transfer of the Brazilian player Maxwell.

"The price of the transfer would be of €4.5 million, with €0.5 million more dependent on variables."

Should the transfer go through, the 27-year-old Maxwell would be Barcelona's first signing since becoming the first Spanish club to win the treble - La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League.

While arch rivals Real Madrid have already splashed out over €200 million on Kaká, Raúl Albiol, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Barcelona have been quiet on the transfer front.
