The development that the Madrid defender has made in recent years has made him an untouchable part of Cholo’s tactical scheme and this is very well understood by four different units that require his services.
The goal scored by defender Mario Hermoso at Feyenoord – Atlético highlighted him as a heavyweight player, which also made his renewal difficult. But before that, the man from Madrid was already a figure and a wall in the mattress defense. In the four seasons he played for the red and white team, there were more positive than negative moments at his level.
The upcoming task in Atlético’s sporting management is now the contract extension of Mario Hermoso, whose contract ends on June 30th. But given the numerous offers received in the last few hours, it will be very difficult for the defender to reach a quick agreement.. Especially because the player had already negotiated a contract extension a few weeks ago and no agreement was reached due to differences of opinion.
The two LaLiga EA Sports teams that want to damage Mario Hermoso’s extension at Atlético
Early Thursday, the phones around the player didn’t stop ringing, and all the calls had the same purpose.. The first offer came from FC Barcelona, where Xavi had already stated that the former Espanyol was one of the best defenders in LaLiga. However, this time they want to connect it from the winter market to the culé project.
The second person who communicated with Mario Hermoso was their backyard rival, we’re talking about Real Madrid. Everyone knows that the Madridista club is currently a traveling hospital with up to seven injured people. One of them is the Brazilian Eder Militao, who will be back by April. Not to mention that Nacho Fernández has already declared that he will not continue in the madridista discipline.
From Italy they also want to make Mario Hermoso’s renewal more difficult
To date, the capital city defender has never played outside of Spain, but that could change from 2024. This applies if the footballer decides to accept one of the two offers from Serie A. AC Milan awaits him there, a club that has problems in defense and has therefore lost important points in both the Champions League and the Italian league.
But one of the Rossoneri team’s strongest rivals is also looking for Mario Hermoso. This is Juventus from Turin, a team that is very present in the Spanish market and in particular at Atlético, where the return of Álvaro Morata is still on the agenda. But this time they have focused on signing the talented defenseman who is about to become a free agent.
