 Maxi was top scorer at Espanyol last season with 15 goals MADRID, Spain -- Argentine striker Maxi Rodriguez has moved to Atletico Madrid from Spanish rivals Espanyol, as the Primera Liga club continue to strengthen their strike force. The 24-year-old, top scorer at Espanyol last season with 15 goals, signed for Atletico after passing a medical exam, the club said on their official website. The versatile forward, who can play wide on the right or in a central role, has made nine appearances for his country. He was a member of their Confederations Cup squad. Atletico, who finished a disappointing 12th in the Primera Liga last season, have already recruited Argentine coach Carlos Bianchi to replace the sacked Cesar Ferrando and on Wednesday signed Serbia and Montenegro striker Mateja Kezman from Chelsea.
