Former Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran follows Dani Alves in signing for Sao Paulo

Dani Alves could have some competition for the right-back spot with Sao Paulo.

Following the former Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona star's move to the Brazilian club, former Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has decided to follow him.

Juanfran enjoyed a hugely successful eight-year spell with Atletico, becoming a fan favourite in one of the best periods in the club's history as Diego Simeone built one of the most dominant back-lines in all of Europe.

Juanfran won La Liga in his time with Atletico and twice found Europa League glory, though the club's quest for a Champions League crown came up short with Atleti having twice lost out in the final during his time there.
