Transfer Market Gil Marin and Ramirez completed transfer last night

Atletico Madrid are set to make one of the biggest signings of the summer by acquiring Sevilla winger Vitolo Machin.

Diego Simeone is a huge admirer of the 27-year-old and did not want to hesitate when it came to signing him, but the club's transfer ban means that he will play at Las Palmas, his hometown team, until January.

The legal situation regarding the transfer is complex, but it is clean in the eyes of FIFA - the ones who dished out the punishment - as there is no loan or transfer that directly involves Atletico.

On Monday night, Las Palmas president Miguel Angel Ramirez travelled to Madrid to discuss the deal in person with Atletico's chief executive Gil Marin, as there will be an understanding that the player will join Las Palmas before heading to Los Rojiblancos at the end of their transfer ban in January.

The transfer itself will take place in the following manner: Atletico will pay Vitolo's 40 million euro release clause to the offices of LaLiga, enabling him to speak with any club. That team will be Las Palmas. The Canary Island side will then sign him as a free agent until January, which is when they will sell him for free to Atletico.

This means that Vitolo will still be eligible to play in the latter stages of the Champions League with Atletico, and he will also be at a team where he will be playing regular football ahead of next year's World Cup in Russia.

Las Palmas benefit greatly from the deal, they are to receive 5m euros as they had a 12 percent sell-on fee included when they sold Vitolo to Sevilla, while they will also have one of LaLiga's best players plying his trade back at the club for six months.

Chelsea were also interested in signing the Canary Islander, but he just wanted to play for Atletico and the best way of doing that was to return to the first club of his life, Las Palmas.

This is a deal in which everyone wins. The desire of Las Palmas is that Atletico accelerate the deal so that Vitolo is not heading to Japan as part of Sevilla's pre-season training on 12 July, and is instead incorporated into the Amarillos squad on 13 July in Gran Canaria.
