Atlético de Madrid already knows who will be their rival in the Champions League quarterfinals, Competition stopped like the rest of the world, by the COVID-19 pandemic, and which will restart in Lisbon in August. In a single match, those of the Cholo will face the German Leipzig and, among its ranks, a footballer that they know well. They have dozens of reports and studies on their game in the offices of the Metropolitan Wanda: this is Dani Olmo, wanted by the rojiblancos in the last two windows of the market.
That duel, without Werner, already a Chelsea footballer, also sought, and a lot, by Atlético, and the goal of the German team (28 in 34 games), will take many of the focus of the quarterfinal tie. The non-departure of Thomas Lemar, for which Atlético paid two summers 70 million euros without ever having paid, in the past winter market, was one of the things that prevented Olmo from being a footballer right now rojiblanco. Atlético, after the heavy investment wants to recover part of it in the sale and at the moment Lemar has no market, so he did not leave Atlético and the Spanish ended up changing the Dinamo of Zagreb for the German team.
With the ability to play in the attacking midfielder, either of the two bands, or even a false '9', “a footballer with plenty of abilities to stand out”, as Axel Torres defined in this radiograph, Dani Olmo is a soccer player to whom Cholo Simeone had already given his approval. In the Bundesliga, since he arrived he played 52% of the minutes, 16 games, with three goals and one assist.
