Turkey midfielder to pen two-year deal with Spanish giants

Atletico Madrid have announced that Turkey international Emre Belozoglu is to join the club as a free agent.

The experienced midfielder has seen his contract at Fenerbahce expire and he has taken the decision to continue his career in Spain.

The 31-year-old will pen a two-year contract at Vicente Calderon once he has completed a medical.

The former Inter Milan and Newcastle enforcer will become Atletico's second signing of the summer, with a deal for Porto forward Cristian Rodriguez already wrapped up.
