MADRID - Atletico Madrid have signed
winger Juanfran Torres from La Liga rivals Osasuna on a
four-and-a-half year contract, the Europa League holders said on
Wednesday.
The 26-year-old goes straight into the squad for Thursday's
King's Cup quarter-final first leg at Real Madrid, the club
where he made his top-flight debut.
Juanfran cost Atletico just over four million euros, according to Spanish media. He comes in as a
replacement for Portugal's Simao Sabrosa who left for Besiktas
last month.
He is Atletico's second signing of the January transfer
window after Brazil midfielder Elias, who has yet to make his
debut because his international transfer has not come through.
