Jonny agrees Atletico Madrid switch Transfer Market May be loaned out to English team

Atletico Madrid look to have won the race for Spanish defender Jonny Castro and may announce his signing over the weekend.

Given that his Celta Vigo contract expires at the end of the upcoming season, the defender has been training away from the Galician side's first team while he seals a move to a new team.

And MARCA understand that Atletico will welcome Jonny to the club on Sunday.

It hasn't been ruled out that the 24-year-old will head out on loan for the 2018/19 campaign, potentially to the English Premier League in a move the player would welcome due to his desire to experience life in a new country.

With Celta, Jonny enjoyed six seasons worth of first team football in LaLiga along with Under-21 action for the Spanish national team, but left-backs Lucas Hernandez and Filipe Luis are both established in Madrid and he may find immediate game time hard to come by.
