Udinese has formalized, in a note, the definitive sale of Rodrigo De Paul to Atletico Madrid.
The Argentine midfielder, 27, in the 5 seasons spent in Friuli made 184 appearances with 34 goals and 36 assists. With the Argentina shirt he has just won the Copa America as a protagonist. At Atletico he will find his compatriot Simeone on the bench.
"We wish you the best, because you deserve it - writes the Pozzo club - and we are proud to have contributed to the path of constant professional and human growth and to have accompanied and supported you in these magnificent 5 years lived together. Buena suerte Rodri!".
Last week the Argentine Juan Musso, a goalkeeper bought by Atalanta, also left Udine.
