The name of current Benfica Brazilian left-back Guillerme Siqueira has been associated with the Spanish Football Club Real Madrid in the past months. I posted here that the defender was seen as the replacement for Coentrao at Real Madrid.
However, Football has its quick turns & new angles. The Brazilian is now more closer to Atletico de Madrid than elsewhere. The reason is that current Atletico de Madrid left-back Felipe Luis is very close to going over to English Premier League Club Chelsea FC were Coach Mourinho desires that he take over the position left vacant by Ashley Cole.
Spanish Sports paper "Marca" informs that Atletico de Madrid has come to an agreement with Spanish Club Granada (owner of the player which loaned out to Benfica) for a figure around 10M€ for Siqueira. This way Atletico de Madrid secures itself a "top class" defender to substitute Luis Felipe, who as mentioned above, looks very close to landing at Chelsea FC next season for around 25M€.
It is expected that Siquiera will fly in from Brazil, where he is on vacation, in the coming days to pass the medical check & sign his contract with At.Madrid.
