"Robinho is Atletico's new signing," the Belo Horizonte team said in a short statement. "Robinho will sign for two seasons."
The 32-year-old Brazil international, who also had a spell at AC Milan, became a free agent at the start of the month after a six-month deal with Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande expired.
