Atletico Madrid are chasing a deal for Sporting CP winger Gelson Martins.

AS says a deal is in place for the Portugal international.

While he had offers from across Europe, Gelson has committed to signing for Atletico. The deal can only be settled once Sporting and Gelson settle on whether he is clear to leave on a free transfer. The midfielder has applied to be released after the training ground attack by ultras at the end of last season.

Gelson would arrive as a replacement for Yannick Carrasco, who left for Dalian Yifang in January.
