Atletico Madrid Ready To Move For Porto's Ruben Micael

Atletico Madrid is looking to snap up Porto midfielder Ruben Micael as they use agent Jorge Mendes' influence to strengthen their squad.

Record reports Micael, 24, could be the next arrival at the Vicente Calderon as Atletico are also closing on a deal for Radamel Falcao, who, like Micael, is managed by Mendes.

The Portuguese midfielder is reportedly looking to leave the Europa League champions after being told he may not find regular action next season following the arrival of Steven Defour from Standard Liege.

Mendes is currently in Madrid as he tries to conclude business for Falcao, and it is said he will use this opportunity to get the ball rolling for Micael.

Meanwhile, A Bola claims the Spanish side are set to move for Sporting Braga's Pizzi as well.

The 21-year-old attacker is another one of Mendes' clients. He has been picked for his side's Europa League clash against Swiss team Young Boys on Thursday, but looks close to moving to La Liga on a five-year deal.

Pizzi did not train with the squad on Wednesday morning and when asked to comment on the news, Marco Carvalho, the club's director of communications, declined to comment.
