Barcelona are reportedly keen to agree a new contract with youngster Alex Collado.

Earlier this season, Collado was provided with his first-team debut during the La Liga fixture at Valencia - a match played soon after the arrival of Quique Setien.

While the midfielder is yet to make another appearance, it was an indication that the 20-year-old is highly regarded by the newly-appointed manager.

According to Marca, Barcelona now want the academy graduate to agree fresh terms over a new deal as soon as possible.

As it stands, Collado is tied to the Catalan giants until the end of next season, with the club possessing an option to extend his contract by a further two years.

Collado has contributed five goals and five assists from 24 outings in the 'B' team during the current campaign.
