Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Jose Manuel Jurado.
 
Jurado's £2 million move was rubberstamped yesterday after three clauses of the original deal struck last week were altered.

Atletico have agreed to pay £700,000 should they field Jurado in any derby against Real in the next two years. The player's buyout clause is now £25 million, with £18 million going to Real should a club match the asking price. Finally, if Atletico accept an offer for Jurado, Real can re-sign him for 15 per cent less than the bid tabled.

"It's a transfer that is good for all three parties," said Real president Ramon Calderon yesterday.
