A report from the Hindustan Times sheds a little more light on the allegedly-done deal to bring Uruguay legend Diego Forlan to Indian Super League's Atletico Kolkata.
Citing an ATK official who admitted no contract has been signed, Dhiman Sarkar reports the Forlan-to-ISLdeal is said to be the brainchild of Atletico Madrid, part of the Kolkata club's ownership group. The two Atleticos are quite tight: new Kolkata coach, Jose Molina, played for Madrid from 1995 to 2000, winning a league and cup double in his first season. Forlan is a former Atletico Madrid player, of course, who helped the club to a Europa League title in 2010.
