Atletico Madrid are on the verge of signing FC Porto centre back Felipe Monteiro for a fee of 20 million euros.

The 30 year old Brazilian confirmed on his social media page that he will leave Porto this summer.

“It has been three years living intensely in blue and white with a new family that I have built, and I will remember it for the rest of my life.
