Atletico Madrid defender Joao Miranda has revealed he is negotiating a move away from the Spanish champions and says he is in discussions with clubs in Spain’s Primera Division and the Premier League.
The Brazilian centre-half was one of the crucial pillars of Diego Simeone’s side last year – his solid partnership with Diego Godin helping Atletico keep the tightest defence in Spain on their way to winning the league title.
Atletico signed Miranda on a free transfer from Sao Paulo in 2011 and inserted a 30million euro (£24.2m) buy-out clause into his latest contract renewal to wade off interest from rival clubs.
However, the 29-year-old has insinuated he wants to leave the Vicente Calderon and explained that the buy-out clause will not necessarily be a stumbling block to interested clubs.
‘I have received several offers and we are negotiating,’ Miranda told Radio ESPN.
