Argentine International & Malaga FC 32 year old defender Martin Demichelis is currently doing his medical exam in Madrid before signing with Atletico de Madrid. The defender has specifically knocked back an offer from Argentine Football to stay in Spain & under the instructions of Coach Diego Simeoni.
The player comes free of a transfer fee because he ended contract with Malaga FC on the 30th of June. The Atletico de Madrid technical staff consider Demichelis a valuable asset in defence because of his experience & Champions League "know how". The regular defenders for Atletico are Miranda & Godin, but the Argentine will be a solid "back-up" during the long upcoming season. It is expected that the defender will join his new team-mates this very afternoon to being pre-season training.
The defender joins other signings - David Villa, Leo Baptistao & Jose Maria Gimenez ( U-20 Uruguayan International ) - as Atletico de Madrid slowly but surely begin building up their 2013-2014 season squad.
