Rodriguez would be Atletico's second new forward signed for next season. Serbia-Montenegro's Mateja Kezman joined from Chelsea on Wednesday for a reported fee of €9 million (US$10.9 million).

Rodriguez scored 15 goals last season to help Espanyol finish fifth in the Spanish league and win a place in next season's UEFA Cup. He joined Espanyol from Newell's Old Boys in 2002.

Rodriguez is expected to be on the bench for Argentina's Confederations Cup final against Brazil later Wednesday.



Rodriguez is a good offensive talent and will boaster Athletico this year. Now with Rodriguez and Kezman they have surely added depth to a team that was a top 5 threat as was. Look for this team to cover a few overs this year.
