Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of FC Porto's Colombian striker Jackson Martinez. The Spanish club have paid 24.8 million pounds for the Colombian international. The striker had previously been linked with Arsenal, but Atletico paid his release clause.
The 28-year-old forward joined Porto in 2012 and had three great seasons there, bagging 67 goals in 90 appearances. He was the Portuguese Primeira Liga top goal scorer in each of those three seasons.
Atletico Madrid have just sold striker Mario Mandzukic to Juventus, so Jackson Martinez will be his replacement. Juventus brought in Mandzukic to replace Carlos Tevez, who decided to move back home to Argentina at Boca Juniors.
Atletico Madrid are 14/1 at Bet365 to win the Primera Liga title next season.

There were many rumors that Jackson Martinez already signed with AC Milan, but like "a storm from clear sky" there were news that he will join Atletico Madrid.

And now when it is official I must say that I'm pretty sure that both sides made a good deal. Jackson Martinez need some good team that is competing on both "fronts", and on the other side Atletico, after selling Mandzukic to Juve, needs a great attacker like Martinez.

This is great transfer for Atletico Madrid, for sure better than Mario Mandzukic last year. I think that Jackson Martinez could fit in this team great and a lot of great strikers were played for Atletico in last few years so I expect that Jackson Martinez could explode next season and be one of the best strikers in Europe....

He was linked with a move in England but decided to go to Atletico and probably this will be a good transfer for Atletico. The transfer amount is pretty impressive but his goalscoring record...
