Stefan SavicSpanish giants Atletico Madrid have announced on their official website that they have completed the signing of Montenegrin defender Stefan Savic.

The 24-year-old arrives at Vicente Calderon as a replacement for Joao Miranda and he has signed a five-year deal with los Colchoneros.

Atletico Madrid are believed to have paid around €10 million for the highly rated centre-back, while allowing midfielder Mario Suarez to join Fiorentina as part of the deal.

“We are very satisfied with the agreement reached with Fiorentina because Stefan is a player with a great future ahead of him,” Atletico sporting director Jose Luiz Caminero said.

“He’s fast and strong defensively and has experience despite his youth after playing in Serbia, England and Italy. I am convinced that he will bring a lot.”

Stefan Savic has enjoyed three very successful campaigns with Fiorentina after struggling for playing time at Manchester City.

Having also recruited the likes of Jackson Martinez, Luciano Vietto and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco, Atletico can be backed at 1.73 (8/11) to win the league without Real and Barcelona.
