Rodrigo de Paul is being backed for big success with Atletico Madrid.

The Argentina midfieder left Udinese for the LaLiga champions over the summer and is already catching the eye.

Udinese football chief Pierpaolo Marino told Tuttosport: "I cannot go into details about the price of De Paul because there are many variables.

"Atlético de Madrid bought a great player.

“At the end of the day we have raised the amount we wanted.

"In the end, the Pozzo family was right again. Also because Udinese also enjoyed two more years with De Paul."
