The experienced midfielder has seen his contract at Fenerbahce expire and he has taken the decision to continue his career in Spain.
The 31-year-old will pen a two-year contract at Vicente Calderon once he has completed a medical.
The former Inter Milan
and Newcastle enforcer will become Atletico’s second signing of the summer, with a deal for Porto forward Cristian Rodriguez already wrapped up.
