Atletico Madrid have wrapped up the £30million signing of Rodrigo De Paul from Udinese - which could now pave the way for Saul Niguez to join Liverpool. De Paul, 27, was a former target for Liverpool and Leeds but has now signed for the LaLiga champions on a five-year contract. The midfielder's move comes just days after he helped Argentina win the Copa America and represents the first major piece of business from Atletico this summer. Liverpool are reportedly leading the chase for Saul, with Jurgen Klopp on the lookout for a new midfielder following Georginio Wijnaldum's exit. Saul is rumoured with an exit and Atletico now have a like-for-like replacement for him
