Atletico Madrid have confirmed they have reached an agreement with San Lorenzo for the transfer of Angel Correa.
The 19-year-old plays in an attacking midfield role, but has featured in a number of positions.

On top of the transfer news, Diego Simeone's side have revealed their new kit for the 2014/15 seaso.
The traditional red and white strip is part of Nike's 'Risk Everything' campaign, and is based on the 1975 kit, when Atletico became champions of the world for the first time.
It has three wide stripes on the front and back, as well as the distinctive white box to display the players’ numbers on the back.
Nike took 3D body scans of many of the world’s leading footballers to create a kit with an updated and perfect new fit. The new fit allows the body to move more naturally within the kit, and so effortlessly improves players’ comfort and performance.
The new home kit will be available at Atlético de Madrid Official Stores, specialist stores and at nike.com in Spain from June 6 and the rest of the world from June 26.
The teenager has signed a five-year contract, subject to a medical, and the fee is believed to be around £6million.
