Report: Maxi Lopez signs new Torino deal

Torino striker Maxi Lopez has agreed a new contract with the Serie A side, according to reports.

The 30-year-old's deal had been due to expire in the summer, though the club had the option to extend that by a further year.

Following Lopez's fine run of form since joining from Chievo in January, Torino have now exercised that option, extending his deal until the end of the next season, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.com.

Lopez, who began his career at River Plate before joining Barcelona in 2005, scored three goals in four Europe League appearances for Torino this season.
