Saul
Ñíguez is one of the summer names for him
Atlético de Madrid
. The youth soccer player wants to leave the team and right now he is on the market. But it is not an easy operation to carry out because he has a long-term contract with the rojiblancos, an astronomical clause – 150 million euros – and he is a player with an age that makes his market value high.
The Athletic It currently rates it at 70 million euros, so there are not many clubs that are eligible for it. There is talk of a shortlist of teams formed by the Bayern Munich, the PSG, the Juventus, the Manchester City, the Manchester
United… Clubs that could afford a transfer of that magnitude with a card like the Madrid player.
If none of these alleged suitors reached what the Athletic, the operation would not occur. The point is, one of those teams is an old suitor. Count the 'Daily star' that he Manchester
United follow the mattress player since 2014 no less.
In that year, Phil
Neville, scout of the English box, was sent to Spain to see a promising Saúl Ñíguez, which was on loan in the Rayo Vallecano. The youth squad, at that time, was only 19 years old, had attracted suitors with his performances. Arsenal, Chelsea Y United they were monitoring their situation.
The 'Red Devils' gave the green light to the hiring but the Athletic recovered him and became one of the important players under the command of Simeone, with a contract and a termination clause that prevented their hiring. In parallel, the Manchester
United was made with Ander
Herrera and parked his desire for the Elche.
A desire that has regained strength at this time in the face of the player's situation, who wants a change of scenery and in the event that Pogba could leave this summer of Old traford.
