Atletico Madrid have signed Brazilian striker Leo Baptistao from neighbours Rayo Vallecano, the Spanish cup winners said on Friday.
.
According to media reports, Atletico have paid €9.5 million for the 20 year-old striker, who joined Rayo as a teenager in 2011.
.
Baptistao was due to be presented by Atletico to the media and fans later Friday. He will replace Colombian forward Radamel Falcao, sold to AS Monaco in June for €45 million, and is expected to link up well with fellow Brazilian Diego Costa.
.
The signing of Baptistao comes after Atletico coach Diego Simeone returned from vacation this week and publicly expressed his annoyance at the club having made no signings in his absence.
