Just a few days after the acquisition of Serbian and Montenegrin national football team striker Mateja Kežman from Chelsea in London, Madrid's club officially announced the acquisition of Argentine national team striker Maxi Rodriguez on Saturday.
The most productive player of last season's Barcelona, who scored 15 goals, passed a medical examination in Madrid on Friday and signed a contract with Atletico. Although the transfer fee is not disclosed, it is believed that the Catalan club will receive about 4 million euros for the Argentine.
A versatile striker, capable of playing both in the center of the attack and on the right flank, represented Argentina national team 9 times and was a member of the team that lost to Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup.
It is worth noting that the famous Argentine coach Carlos Bianchi became the coach of Madrid's Atletico this summer.
