Felipe Unveiled as New Atletico Madrid Star Ahead of Signing 3-Year Contract

Atletico Madrid have confirmed that centre-back Felipe is set to arrive at the club on Wednesday ahead of finalising his move to the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday.

With Diego Godin leaving to join Inter this summer, Atletico acted back in May to seal the €20m signing of Felipe from Porto, and he is now set to put the finishing touches on his move.

Atletico took to their official website to confirm the news, writing: "Felipe Augusto de Almeida Monteiro is to arrive at Madrid airport on Wednesday. The Brazilian, who is to sign a three-year contract with our club on July 4, will arrive in the Spanish capital in order to start the pre-season with Simeone's team once his contract is signed.
