Alejandro Gomez heading to Atletico Madrid?

Catania president Antonino Pulvirenti has revealed that Alejandro Gomez is on the verge of leaving the club but refused to confirm the Argentinian's destination.

The 25-year-old weighed in with eight goals to help the Elephants finish in eighth place last season, catching the attention of a number of clubs in Europe.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly leading the chase to sign the winger, but when questioned Pulvirenti remained tight-lipped.

"There is a really serious negotiation, probably next week he will leave," Sky Sports News quotes the 51-year-old as saying. "Atletico Madrid? I can't say it."

Inter Milan are also said to be in the hunt.
