Rodrigo Caio, who has been watched by the Blaugrana for a long time, has reportedly signed with La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid, according to ESPN Brazil. The 21-year-old defender is one of the biggest Brazilian promises, but struggled to get a lot of playing time this year at his current club, São Paulo FC, mainly due to a serious knee injury he suffered in 2014.
São Paulo has recently changed coaches, and new manager Juan Carlos Osório has said clearly that he wants to use the player as much as possible. That could mean Atléti won't get the player at the July transfer window.
