Atleti confirm Kalinic. GOAL

Nikola Kalinic has moved to Atletico Madrid from AC Milan to bring to an end a difficult spell at San Siro.

The Croatian striker has moved to Atletico for a fee of €15m, and will sign at three-year contract at Wanda Metropolitano.

"Atlético de Madrid and AC Milan have reached an agreement over the transfer of 30-year-old striker Nikola Kalinić. The Croat will join our club on a three-year deal," the club said in a statement.

"With a great aerial presence (1,87 metres tall), Kalinic is a force to be reckoned with in set pieces and aerial plays. He's also good at holding up the ball and is great at shooting from a distance.

"Welcome to Atlético, Nikola!"

Kalinic made 41 times for Milan last season, and has made 42 appearances for the Croatian national side, scoring 15 times.
