Agent: 'Atletico Madrid want Milan Badelj'

The agent of Hamburger SV midfielder Milan Badelj has claimed that Atletico Madrid want to sign his client.

The 25-year-old, who is currently on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, is widely expected to depart Germany this summer.

AC Milan have been strongly linked with a move, but Branco Panic has revealed that Atletico are also firmly in the running.

"I can confirm that Atletico, like AC Milan, are closely following Badelj," he told Bild.

Badelj has just one year remaining on his current deal.
