The 32-year-old Uruguay international is expected to join Inter in a deal worth five million euros.

Forlan is set travel to Milan this afternoon and put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the Serie A giants.

Inter are looking to strengthen their attacking line following the sale of Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o to Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.

Forlan joined Atletico in 2007 from Villarreal and is under contract with the Spanish outfit for another two seasons.
