Atletico Madrid sending two players to Benfica for Simao
tribalfooball.com - July 27, 2007
Atletico Madrid are expected to confirm today that two players will move to Benfica as part of Simao Sabrosa's £15 million return to Spain. Former Barcelona winger Simao is expected to be unveiled today by Atletico after undergoing a medical and putting pen to paper on a four-year contract.
Marca says two players will move to Benfica in part-exchange. Portuguese duo Ze Castro, who attracted an inquiry from Chelsea earlier this summer, and Costinha are tipped to be the two in question.
"I am very happy to be in Madrid, I come to Atletico to succeed in Spain," declared Simao at Madrid airport yesterday.
