Cholo to sign on Friday?

Diego Simeone could sign his new Atletico Madrid contract as early as Friday, reports in Spain have claimed.

It was revealed earlier in the week that the parties would finalise terms on a renewal until 2020 in the coming days, but Mundo Deportivo claims all could be settled by the end of the week.

Simeone’s current deal expires in 2017 but MD add it was subject to review at the end of every season, while Cholo will also get a pay rise that will make him the highest paid individual at Vicente Calderon.

The Argentine will also be granted more responsibility for the next five-year project as part of the agreement, MD suggestion Simeone will oversee everything that relates to the football side of the club.
