AMSTERDAM, July 26 (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam have agreed a three-year deal with Barcelona defender Oleguer, the Dutch club said on its website (www.ajax.nl) on Saturday.

The 28-year-old, who joined Barca from local side Gramenet in 2001 and helped them win the Champions League in 2006, will have a medical on Monday. He has the option of an extra year.

Media reports said Ajax will pay Barcelona 3.0 million euros ($4.71 million) plus another 2.25 million if they qualify for the Champions League in one of the next three seasons.

Oleguer, who has also won two league titles and two Spanish Super Cups with Barca, was a regular starter between 2004 and 2007 but made just 12 league appearances last term.

He has only scored once for Barcelona when he netted their first goal in a 4-0 win over Malaga in April, 2005.
