The name of Matthias Ginter returns to be placed in the orbit of the Athletic one. The 26-year-old German central defender was already one of the names that were considered last season to replace Godín in the mattress club. Finally, the chosen one was Mario Hermoso, but now the Teutón is playing again. This is how he explains it Kicker. The German specialized medium places the 1.91-meter center-back on Atlético's agenda. He ranks him as the first of his suitors alongside Inter Milan and Chelsea. The defender is one of the heavyweights of Marco Rose's team, who has brilliantly achieved fourth place in the Bundesliga that entitles him to play in the Champions League.
The German club, in the person of its manager Max Eberl, has expressed this week that it has no intention of letting go of any of its important players. With Ginter there is a problem. His contract expires in one year, although there is an option to extend it for one more season. Thus, the candidates, including Atlético, are waiting. Ginter may be an option this summer or an even more affordable one next. It is an international central defender with Germany, who arrived at Borussia from Dortmund in 2017 for 17 million.
