The 19-year-old will stay with the Colombian outfit for the rest of the season, before joining up with his new teammates for the first time next summer.

He becomes Atleti eighth summer signing after Luciano Vietto, Jackson Martinez, Stefan Savic, Yannick Carrasco, Filipe Luis, Bernard Mensah and Matias Kranevitter.
