Strike a deal works...You would normally "come to" or "reach" an agreement, not strike or negotiate one. There isn't an agreement until is has been reached, so you can maybe negotiate "towards" an agreement but not negotiate an agreement. Strike is just strange, it only goes with "deal".
PS: It's "Are all of them correct?"

-No one says strike an agreement, but I guess it works.
-Strike a deal sounds more correct
-Negotiate an agreement is ok to say as well, not entirely correct but it's meaning is different to that of the above
(negotiate is to discuss and talk about the agreement, strike a deal/agreement is when the agreement/deal is done)
