Atletico Madrid Deal will be closed shortly

There are just a few small contract details to be sorted out before Oliver Torres' transfer to Porto will be made official.

It's unlikely to be announced before Tuesday as the Portuguese club have an important Champions League qualifier to play in Rome, and coach Nuno Santo won't want any other distractions to hamper the chance of earning a place in the competition proper.

In any event, the main part of the contract is concluded with minor points to be ironed out and that's not expected to delay the announcement further than is necessary.

Torres will sign for the next four seasons giving him more than enough time to establish himself, and in so doing he'll hope to become a mainstay of Julen Lopetegui's new Spanish revolution.

Negotiations have been cordially conducted, Atletico Madrid understanding that the youngster needs to play, Porto accepting that they needed a midfielder with his particular skill set.

Diogo Jota may also join Torres after failing to impress Diego Simeone in pre-season, but the striker will only head to Portugal on loan for one season.
