Kevin Gameiro is a new member of Atletico Madrid.
The now former Sevilla striker moved to the "colćoneros" for 32 million euros, and with various bonuses and clauses, that figure could rise to 41 million, depending on whether Sevilla buys out Luciano Viet's contract next year, which is in that club came from Atlético on loan.
Information about Gameiro's arrival was also published by Atlético on their website, with the message "Welcome Gameiro".
The 67-year-old Frenchman, who spent the last three seasons in Sevilla, scored 17 goals and had XNUMX assists in that club's jersey.
The Spanish media mention that Gameiro will form a phenomenal tandem with his countryman Antoine Griezmann, but the two will have competition in Fernando Torres, who is determined to be even better this year than last year, when he returned to the club where he grew up.
Simeone wanted to bring Gonzalo Higuain or Diego Costa, but the former was too expensive for Atlético, while Antonio Conte did not want to let the latter from Chelsea to return to the "Rohiblancos".
Gameiro was the third option.
