Porto lands Atletico Madrid's Adrian Lopez for £8.8 million

LISBON, July 12, 2014 (AFP) - Spanish international striker Adrian Lopez left La Liga champions Atletico Madrid for Portuguese giants FC Porto in an 11 million euro deal (£8.8 million) on Saturday.

The 26-year-old, who has been capped twice by Spain, signed a five-year deal after three seasons with Atletico where he scored 11 times in 90 outings.

Lopez's departure comes just two days after Croatian international striker Mario Mandzukic completed his move to Atletico from German champions Bayern Munich in a deal worth 22 million euros.
