Atlético promises to have a very busy last market week. As he struggles to complete the arrival of a striker, with everything agreed with Matheus Cunha, could have a last minute outing. As AS has learned, Two Premier League clubs have launched to take over the services of Saúl Ñíguez and his departure may be imminent, since he would have the approval of the rojiblanco club.
Manchester United and Chelsea they love the player, who after having been in the starting window all summer had started LaLiga as a fixture in Atlético’s eleven. Of course, occupying the position of left lane, an area where he does not like having to participate so much. In Balaídos he assisted Correa with the second goal and in the return to Wanda Metropolitano he completed the match against Elche. But, his idea of going out would not have dissipated despite continuing to count for Simeone. He is still determined to leave, in growing abroad, he feels that at Atlético that is impossible, due to his new role, in which he does not feel completely comfortable, and since the current market does not allow a large outlay in his signing, that door has been opened: that of cession.
The proposed formula to get their services It bears a certain similarity to the one that ended Morata at Juventus. An assignment in exchange for a substantial financial sum and the payment of a good part of his salary. Manchester United has always been the club with the most interest although, according to AS sources in the operation, in the last hours it is Chelsea the one that has taken the lead. The rojiblanco youth squad could already enter into a barter for Griezmann with Barcelona, but the operation did not come to fruition.
Kondogbia, De Paul …
English clubs are the ones that have shown the most interest in him, with Liverpool also in the fight at the beginning of the summer, but without making a concrete offer. At 26, he is faced with the possibility of leaving the club of his heart in search of new adventures. In the event of losing Saúl, Atlético could be forced to go to the market, since the versatility of the Elche man covered multiple positions. De Paul was a luxury booster in the middle, but the option of getting hold of a defensive midfielder, as Kondogbia is the only specialist on the squad or with a band footballer, a function that Saúl had been covering since the start of the championship, where he has completed every minute.
