Atletico Madrid closing on deal for Valencia striker Rodrigo

Atletico Madrid are closing on a deal for Valencia striker Rodrigo Moreno.

Okdiario's senior pundit Eduardo Inda has declared Rodrigo is wanted by Atletico ahead of the summer market.

Inda told El Chiringuito: "The Valencian Rodrigo is close to Atlético de Madrid because Griezmann, with almost total certainty, will become a Barcelona player."

Barcelona will pay Griezmann's €100m buyout clause to take him from Madrid - which will see Atletico use that cash to bid for Rodrigo.

However, it could still be difficult to prise Rodrigo away from Los Che, with owner Peter Lim under no pressure to sell.
