MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid has signed Croatia forward Nikola Kalinic from AC Milan.
The Spanish club says Kalinic signed a three-year deal.
Kalinic was sent home from the World Cup after he refused to come on as a substitute in the opening game against Nigeria, citing a back problem.
The 30-year-old Kalinic was awarded a silver medal after Croatia lost to France in the final but did not accept it.

Kalinic has also played for Hajduk Split, NK Istra, HNK Sibenik, Blackburn and Dnipro.
