Adrian leaves Atletico Madrid for Porto

Atletico confirmed on their website that Adrian had passed a medical with Porto, allowing the 26-year-old striker to fly with the Portuguese outfit to Eindhoven.

The medical was the final hurdle for Adrian before his transfer from Atletico to Porto would be approved.

"Atletico de Madrid and Porto have reached an agreement for the transfer of Adrian Lopez to the Portuguese club," a statement on Atletico's website read.

"The striker from Asturias leaves for the team directed by the Spanish [coach] Julen Lopetegui."

With Villa already on his way to expansion franchise New York City in the MLS and Chelsea already agreeing to sign Costa, Adrian's exit to Porto will leave Simeone with a large hole to fill up forward as he looks to defend their Spanish crown.
