BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spain international Vitolo has an agreement to spend the first half of next season on loan at Las Palmas if his move from Sevilla to Atletico Madrid is finalised, the Canary Island club said on Tuesday. According to reports in the Spanish media Atletico are close to agreeing a 40 million euro (£35 million) move for the forward, who began his career at Las Palmas before joining Sevilla in 2013. Atletico are unable to register new players until January while they serve a transfer ban for the illegal transfer of minors. "The president has reached an agreement whereby if Vitolo signs for Atletico he'll be at Las Palmas until January," Cruz said. Las Palmas assistant coach and former Spain midfielder Juan Carlos Valeron added: "Having a player like him at Las Palmas would be a fairy tale for us, we're very excited about it."
