It is expected to keep the 24-year-old at the club for several more years and will be announced in the coming days.
Bula is under contract until the end of the season but had a player option in his favour.
The Bulldogs were heavily linked to the talented No.1 with Phil Gould publicly expressing his admiration for Bula.
Only last week Code Sports Brent Read revealed contract talks had stalled.
“I don’t think (a decision is fast approaching). They’ve been locked in talks over an extension and it hasn’t happened and that suggests to me it probably won’t happen before the deadline in two weeks,” Read said on NRL 360.
“Then the ball is in the Tigers court. They can take up that option for $900,000 for next year. I think they’ll work hard to get something done in the next couple of weeks.
The deal is a major win for Marshall after Jarome Luai’s decision last week to join the PNG Chiefs as their first signing.
Attention immediately turned to the Tigers off-contract stars Bula and Terrell May with the prop signing a three-year extension on Friday.
