Atleti confirm Sosa capture

Atletico Madrid have confirmed that they have reached agreement with Metalist Kharkiv to take Jose Sosa on loan for the rest of the season.

Los Colchoneros were believed to have reached a deal earlier this week and have now released a statement confirming as much for the Argentine midfielder.

The 28-year-old former Bayern Munich and Napoli man is reported by Atleti as due to finalise his temporary switch out to the Vicente Calderon today, with a medical examination followed by the signing of papers.

Sosa, whose deal will run through to June 30, 2014, reunites with Simeone, on from their brief time working together at Estudiantes in Argentina.

Whilst there is no mention in their official statement, it is widely believed – and confirmed via the player’s agent on Twitter – that Atleti do have a purchase option inserted in this deal for non-EU national Sosa.
