Madrid's "Atletico" spent important money.

On Friday, the capital's club officially announced that they acquired 18-year-old Arthur Vermeeren from Antwerp's "Royal".

"Atletico" will pay 25 million euros to the Belgian club, including easily achievable bonuses.

The 18-year-old Belgian already captained "Royal" in the Champions League match against "Porto" as Toby Alderweireld could not play in that match.

A. Vermeeren played in all 6 matches in the Champions League and is one of the most promising Belgian players.
