Vrsaljko - SassuoloSassuolo are reportedly getting ready to let right-back Sime Vrsaljko leave to join La Liga side Atletico Madrid.

The defender has been followed for a long time by Italian giants such as Inter, Juventus and Napoli, but it appears that the Champions League runners-up will be the ones to sign him.

According to Sport Mediaset, Atletico are willing to pay the requested fee, which is in the region of €20 million, for the Neroverdi full-back.

The sum includes add-ons, which depend on the player’s and the squad’s performance in the next season.

Vrsaljko, 24 years old, has spent his last two seasons at the Mapei Stadium, after being purchased from Genoa for a fee in the region of €3.5 million.

During his last season, the Croatia international has shown great consistency, playing 35 Serie A matches with the Neroverdi and delivering four assists in the process.
