Nigeria defender Taye Taiwo is close to completing a switch from French Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Marseille to Spanish side Atletico Madrid, BBC Sport understands.
Taiwo who has been hankering on a move away from Marseille in search of first team football is expected to finalise the deal on Wednesday.
According to the player's agent Michael Coker, only minor details between both clubs need to be sorted out.
"I'm presently in Madrid now and everything is almost done," Coker told BBC Sport on Tuesday.
"I have been in a long meeting with the club director [Jesus Pitarch], and they are excited knowing everything is almost sorted out.
"We had little challenges at some point but right now everything is back on track with the player and clubs involved."
The 25-year-old joined Olympique Marseille from Nigerian side Lobi Stars in 2004 and has been a regular at the club until last season.
He won the French double with Marseille last season.
