Atletico Madrid have settled on Valencia midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia as a replacement for Thomas Partey.

After Partey's departure for Arsenal on deadline day, Atletico have been granted an extra month by LaLiga chiefs to buy a replacement.

AS says Atletico have decided to move for Kondogbia.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone is a fan of Kondogbia and sees him as a direct replacement for Partey.

Valencia would be willing to sell the player given their poor finances.
