sign a four-year contract after the Liga club met
his €35 million release clause
Jackson Martinez will sign a four-year deal
at Atletico Madrid after the club agreed a €35
million deal with Porto on Tuesday, according to
the player's agent.
The striker, who is currently on international duty
with Colombia at the Copa America, had appeared
set to join AC Milan before Atletico registered their
interest.
"It was finalised today," Luiz Henrique Pompeo tol
AS. "We want to thank Milan for their interest right
up the end, we feel very honoured by it, but you
can't be in two places at once.
"Atleti are a very big club that has done important
things in the league and in Europe. Jackson is
going there to also achieve great things and to
bring the best out of himself.
"That's his dream and he's very excited. He's
really happy."
Martinez will become the second striker Atletico
have signed this summer, following the arrival of
Luciano Vietto from Villarreal.
The 28-year-old joined Porto from Chiapas in
2012 and scored 21 league goals last season.
