Villa set for £4.4m move to Atletico

Barcelona have reached an agreement in principal for the transfer of striker David Villa to Atletico Madrid.

The Primera Division champions announced that the deal will cost up to £4.4 million with Barca receiving 50 per cent of any future transfer fee.

The 31-year-old Spain international has been wildly linked with a move over recent months after struggling to hold a first-team berth last season.
