Vrsaljko's Atletico move set to be confirmed

Croatia international Sime Vrsaljko is on the verge of completing his move to Atletico Madrid, his agent said.

Full-back Vrsaljko, 24, has spent the past two seasons at Sassuolo in the Serie A and will make the move to Spain.

"Soon, the move will be official," he told Radio CRC.

"Sime never rejected Napoli. I want to clarify that one thing.

"Napoli have made an important offer in January and now, but it is difficult to turn down Atletico, twice a finalist in the Champions League.

"It's not about the money or anything. He has been thinking a lot, I assure you, and only recent results have affected him."
