The Spanish rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid are currently battling over the wonderkid of Olympique Marseille, Maxime Lopez, during the next summer transfer window.

The 20-year-old Frenchman has presented a very impressive performance with Marseille this season, leading his team to seize second place in the French Ligue 1, competing with Paris Saint-Germain for the title.

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde aims to sign the French player in the summer to replace the club’s legend Andres Iniesta. The Catalan club will face a very fierce struggle from Real Madrid, whose coach, Zinedine Zidane, wants to strengthen the team’s squad in the 2018/2019 season.
