MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid is set to sign Dutch international Memphis Depay from Barcelona to try to boost its attack after João Félix left for Chelsea. The final details of the transfer were still being finalized but Atletico said Depay was already training with his new teammates on Thursday with permission from Barcelona. The signing is expected to come less than a week after Félix joined Chelsea on loan. Atletico’s attack is led by Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata.
