Mario Suarez set for Fiorentina medical later today
That is according to Spanish paper AS, who claim the defensive midfielder will join Fiorentina as part of a swap deal with centre-half Stefan Savic.
The Serie A club will also receive £8.3million from Atletico, who are desperate to replace Joao Miranda and Toby Alderweireld in the heart of their defence this summer.
The deal will come as a blow to Premier League pair Arsenal and Manchester United, who have been heavily linked with moves for Suarez and Savic, respectively.
The Gunners have been credited with an interest in the Spaniard for the past couple of seasons, while United are believed to be lining up a £15m bid for the Montenegro international.
