"Everything will be clarified next week," replied Jackson Martínez succinctly last night to A Bola when asked about the agreement reached between Atlético and Porto for the Madrid club to pay his €35 million release clause.
Just like the announcement of Vietto's signing, the Colombian forward's announcement is pending official confirmation after Atlético snatched him from Milan, who had a closed agreement with Porto to sign Jackson.
Last Saturday this newspaper already announced that Atlético was close to securing the player, who was reluctant to go to Milan, and a day later the agreement was explained whereby Atlético pays the release clause and the contract that will bind the player to the Manzanares entity. Yesterday the Italian team approved the agreement between the Madrid club and the Portuguese club, considering the attacker as lost. With Jackson and Vietto, Simeone will have the quartet of forwards he requested, alongside Torres and Griezmann.
