La Liga champions Atletico Madrid have signed Argentina midfielder Rodrigo de Paul from Udinese on a five-year deal.

De Paul, 27, part of Argentina's Copa America winning side, will play in Spain for a second time in his career having been with Valencia between 2014 and 2016.

Spanish media have reported that the transfer fee for the Serie A side is about €35 million (£29.9m).
