Competition can make one of the centrals come out

He problem of competition. Simeone has at its disposal a very competitive squad and from this I know Cholo benefits. The Madrid team has folded the stalls in all the demarcations, except for the left side where only Lodi is, although Manu Sánchez He has had minutes and is already a serious alternative to the Brazilian. But the competition has a double reading: good for the team but it can be a problem for footballers they play less. Atlético has central four of guarantees and for the next season maybe I can leave some. Felipe, Savic, Giménez and Hermoso they are important players and some can cause loss in the entity of the Wanda Metropolitano. It could be beautiful, the one that has had the fewest minutes, but nothing is decided yet. In the background appears Nehuén Pérez, the Argentine central defender who has performed so well this year and who I could arrive to be coupled to the whole of Simeone.

Felipe, 31 years, has been the great discovery of Atlético. He was slow to start playing, since the Savic and Giménez gallons weighed, but when he did, he no longer left the team. He has a contract until 2022 and its market value is 25.5 million. He has played 35 games and a total of 3,090 minutes of competition. He scored two goals. Seems fixed for the next campaign in which he will be fully connected to the club.

Savic, 29, has had a good season. It arrived in 2015 and is one of the veterans of the group. With contract until June 30, 2022 It has performed well. His problem is injuries, although he has been respected in the second part of the season. Its market value is 25.5 million. He has played 27 games and a total of 2,392 minutes. He is happy at Atlético, he is not a media player, but render. The club has always received offers for him, although one year after year he remains in the entity.

José Giménez, 25 years, arrived in 2013 and all Atlético centrals is the one with the best poster in european football. The greats of the Premier follow him. Madrid tried to sign him, but he is fixed in the entity red and white. This year he has not given up like others due to injuries. With a contract until 2023, its market value is 56 million, since it still has many years ahead. He has played 26 games with 2,060 minutes of competition. Atlético forwards over and over to its clause, of 120 million. It doesn't seem like the summer is ripe for European clubs to make big investments.

Mario Hermoso, 25 years, the last summer Thank you to your good seasons in the Spanish. Tempt contract until 2024 and its market value is 20 million. Is the one least played and Simeone used him on occasions as left-handed side, where it did not convince. Better central, where he did well. He played 23 games and 1,691 minutes. With Savic, Giménez and Felipe in conditions it seems difficult for me to play. The club could take advantage of an offer for him, knowing also that the defense hoped to have more minutes. We will have to see the offers that can come for Hermoso.

If one comes out, Nehuén Pérez could return. The 19-year-old Argentine has had a great season at the Portuguese Farmalicao and he seems ready to make the leap to Atlético. He was already at the Madrid club, although he did not make his debut under Cholo. Nehuén is very attentive. He was close to signing for Ajax and is a central defender with a great future. The departure of one of the centrals would give him options to return to Atlético.
