The mattress team wants to snatch the signing of the ‘Jewel’ from Inter, who occupies the ‘pole’ to sign him
Lautaro Martínez is still in the bedroom, but it depends on Lukaku’s departure from Chelsea
Summer has not yet arrived and the market is on fire. All the teams want to reinforce their squads in view of a season that is expected to be very tough due to the World Cup in Qatar, which splits the club calendar in two. And Atlético, of course, is no exception. The departures of Héctor Herrera and Luis Suárez force the mattress team to sign and Miguel Gil Marín and Andrea Berta are already red-handed.
And when it seemed forgotten, Paulo Dybala’s name has come to the fore again. The Argentinian is on track to sign for Inter Milan, which offers him a three-year contract. Yesterday, however, the journalist specializing in the market, Gianluca Di Marzio, revealed that Atlético would have resumed interest in the ‘Joya’.
Certainly, it is one of the treats of this transfer window. Because he ends his contract with Juventus and would arrive with the freedom letter. This week a meeting is scheduled between Beppe Marotta, Inter’s sports director, and Jorge Antun, the player’s agent. Atlético, meanwhile, will try to play Simeone’s weapon to try to convince Dybala.
Lautaro Martínez is still in the bedroombut it would be much more expensive and the ‘nerazzurri’ would only let him out if they manage to get Dybala’s services.
The ‘Juve’ haggles for Morata
In another vein, there is still no agreement between Atlético and Juventus for the transfer of Álvaro Morata. The ‘bianconeri’ want to sign the striker, who has played in Turin for the last two seasons on loan, but they are not willing to execute the 35 million euro purchase option they have for the Madrid native. From Italy they point out that there will be a meeting between both parties soon and Cherubini, sports director of the ‘Vecchia Signora’, will offer Atlético 15 ‘kilos’ plus Moise Kean’s passan offer that will be rejected but will serve as a starting point for negotiations.
