The will of the player, attached by the engagement offered by the Al-Qadsiah, decisive for the acceleration of the cessation: the two clubs are at the details

10 July – 12:45 – MILAN

At certain figures it is difficult to say no. Let’s also say impossible and in fact they have already said yes – even if the definitive and official ok will arrive only in the next few hours, at most the next few days – both Atalanta and Mateo Restuui. Last night only some details remained to be placed: the Nerazzurri (and blue) center forward can already be considered an al Qadsiah player. Will it be a lucky wedding? It is certainly wet by a golden rain. Or Petroldollari, old but always current definition regarding the appeal of certain Arabs clubs, which have very convincing arguments. Just think that it is a total operation of almost 200 million gross.

The figures

About 68 net, including bonuses, will go to Atalanta: the figure on which the two clubs should end up agreeing, halfway between the Bergamo request of 70 million and the last offer of the Arabs yesterday: that left from 45, had risen up to 53 (not accidentally, the figure of the termination clause of Moise Kean) and yesterday they went up to 65. Especially on the bonuses and on the payment terms of the approximately 3.5 million provided as a percentage on the contribution of solidarity: that is, 5% of the transfer value of the player who belongs – as per Fifa regulation – to the clubs that trained it between his 12th and his 23rd year of age. There are bonuses, linked in particular to the performance, also in the center forward contract: four years of 16 million plus 4 of the annual bonuses, for a total that can reach 80 million, if it remained in Arabia for the duration of the agreement reached with the club.

Mateo’s move

Therefore, to give an exact meaning to this deal from hyperbolic figures, it is more correct to start from the engagement offered by the Arabs to stagble: that with Atalanta it signed a contract of two million per year and will be able to earn ten times a lot. A decisive key for the latest double turn to a negotiation that has been open for some time, but in the last 24 hours it has had the decisive acceleration. Double because the al Qadsiah, to convince the player – and the move of leverageing his will to force the situation he paid – proposed him a further year of the contract, bringing him from three to four years. And because at that point the incidence of the position of attributes has become decisive. That between Tuesday evening and yesterday morning he came out in the open with Atalanta, communicating his definitive, irrevocable will to go. In this sustained, if we do not want to say pushed, by the family, whose opinion has always had an important weight in the choices of Mateo. In particular that of the Chapa, Dad Carlos, who accompanied him step by step in his growth.

Monstre capital gains

Atalanta, who had neither the need, nor the initial intention of depriving the attacker, at that point could not fail to consider the opportunity of the sale. Double in this case too: rester could remain unsatisfied, and the club hardly would have arrived at the Arabian one. Which will bring the fruits of another monstre capital gain to the Nerazzurri speakers: a deal of little less than that of the sale of Hojlund to the United of the summer 2023, and also higher than the sale of Koopmeiners to Juve, which will make the second most paid player of the most paid, after Verratti (30 million per year by the Al-Arabi).

Another “nine”

How does Atalanta expect to use the almost 70 million in the sale of attributes? At least at the moment, reinvesting them for the purchase of another center forward is not a priority: the monitored solutions, starting with Rodrigo Muniz, born in the Fulham 2001, and Georges Mikautadze, 2000 of Lyon, will be re -evaluated later. In the squad there is Scamacca, who will return after almost a year, and however after a summer of work he promises to recur ready ready. And Juric will want to evaluate the return Touré on the field and also the possible adaptability of Maldini and De Ketelaere, not to mention that he too, as already Gasperini, in the past has sometimes used the “false nine” solution (therefore if Pasalic would also be candidate), adapting the various Verre, Borini and Vlasic.
