The Atlético de Madrid has tied up the signing of Rodrigo Gomes, from Sporting de Braga, for 15 million euros. This is confirmed by the newspaper O'Jogo, which reports that negotiations are very advanced and that the 20-year-old footballer is already waiting for the call to move to the Spanish capital. Despite the fact that there were several Premier League teams interested in his signing, Atlético has taken the lead, also taking advantage of the excellent relations with Braga and its president, Antonio Salvador, and will put 15 million to sign this player who has been international in all the lower categories of the Portuguese team and whom Roberto Martínez closely follows for the absolute. In fact, he has trained these days with them along with other U-21s to prepare for the European Championship. Rodrigo Gomes arrived in Braga in 2014 and always stood out in more advanced positions, as a winger on both sides. But last year in Estoril he was converted to right-back, something that in Portugal they point out will be perfect for Simeone to play with his system of three centrals and two lane runners.

Rodrigo Gomes' loan at Estoril expires at the end of June and he is set to return to SC Braga. SC Braga is likely to use his increased market value to sell him.
