Brazilian newspaper Lancenet understands that Atletico Mineiro are set to complete the signing of Argentine midfielder Jesus Datolo from Internacional.
The former Argentina international is currently undergoing a medical ahead of his proposed switch to Estadio Raimundo Sampaio.
Datolo arrives at Atletico on a cut-price deal seeing as how his contract at Internacional was due to expire in January 2014.
He is expected to replace star midfielder Bernard, who completed a mega money switch to Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this week.
Jesus Datolo made a name for himself while playing for Boca Juniors, before making a switch to Napoli in January 2009.
The 29-year-old utterly failed to live up to the billing at Stadio San Paolo, making just 22 league appearances before moving to Espanyol.
He joins the Copa Libertadores champions following a decent spell at Internacional, looking to help his new side recover from a dismal start to the league campaign.
