Vrsaljko move to Atletico imminet

Atletico Madrid are on the verge of signing Sime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo, according to Sky Sports sources.

The 24-year-old was a key player in the Serie A side's first Europa League qualification last season, catching the eye of clubs all around Europe.

The stated source claim that the defender is set to put pen-to-paper with the Champions League finalists within a matter of hours, with Simeone appearing to have fought off interest from Napoli for the defender. 

Although  Atletico already have a highly-rated right-back in Juanfran, it is believed Vrsaljko will battle for a first team spot, before eventually take over from the ageing veteran.
