Atletico Madrid have agreed to
sign Turkey midfielder Emre Belozoglu from Fenerbahce on a free
transfer, the La Liga club said on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old, who also had stints at Inter Milan,
Newcastle and Galatasaray, will sign a two-year deal later this
week subject to a medical, Atletico said on their website.
It will be their second signing of the close season after
the Europa League winners said on Monday they had agreed a deal
with Porto forward Cristian Rodriguez, a Uruguay international.
"Emre has everything he needs to triumph at Atletico," the
player's compatriot and new team-mate Arda Turan said.
"He has
shown personality in taking the reins at major clubs and his
experience can help us a great deal in key games."
