Madrid: Spanish football club Atletico Madrid has signed Montenegrin international defender Stefan Savic from Italian side Fiorentina.

Savic arrives in Madrid to replace defender Joao Miranda who has left to join Italian side Inter Milan. The deal will cost around $13.5 million, which also includes Spain international midfielder Mario Suarez moving to Florentina, reports Xihnua.

The 24-year-old will undergo his medical test in Madrid late on Monday, before joining up with the squad currently carrying out pre-season preparations in north of the Spanish capital.

Savic has made 32 appearances for his country and is Atletico’s fourth major signing of the summer.

Atletico have also signed attackers Luciano Vietto, Jackson Martinez and Yannick Carrasco for the upcoming season.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
