Milan have formally pulled out of their deal with Porto for Jackson Martinez, as he’s heading to Atletico Madrid.
CEO Adriano Galliani had already hinted at the collapse of the transfer, which had been agreed last week for his €35m release clause.
It was confirmed this afternoon with a note on Milan Channel, the official club television station.
The Rossoneri would not complete the move without a medical, but the player is currently in Chile for the Copa America with Colombia.
