Lautaro Martinez is the great request of Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of the
Atlético de Madrid
, to reinforce the mattress front for the coming season. It does not necessarily mean that it will be able to be carried out but it does mean that it is the great objective.
In these years, we have already seen operations that from the club itself considered impossible, such as the signings of Diego Costa, Álvaro Morata, Joao Félix or more recently Luis Suarez, ended up being a reality.
So why not think big. The Athletic he has earned it. He has shown in these years that he can achieve the unthinkable. And to Simeone, that impossible is right now the forward of the Inter de Milan.
And things will not be so far-fetched when in Italy they see a real danger that the Argentine player will pack his bags for the champion of Spain. The newspaper 'Tuttosport'Takes to its cover today, June 8, the issue. And he assures that the South American forward doubts, that he is between Simeone Y Simeone, making a play on words with the name of the new coach of the Italian team, Simone
Inzaghi, and the mattress.
RED WHITE PRESSURE
And it is that for the new coach of the ‘neroazzurri’, the continuity of ‘bull'Is non-negotiable. But Athletic It is a team that tempts him a lot thanks, above all, to the presence of Cholo. As reported by Tuttosport, it seems that Simeone Y Lautaro would have been in telephone contact in recent days, even for WhatsApp.
Let us remember that, in 2017, the Simeone spoke in person with the then forward of Racing de Avellaneda when the Athletic was about to sign him. Since then, the 'bull’Has been a goal of Cholo. “Simeone He talked to me to tell me where I fit into his idea of the game ”, the player explained at the time, before taking the leap to Italy.
Now the situation is completely different. Although it is the dream of Cholo, the operation is complicated. The Inter He has already made it clear that he will not negotiate for him and that there will be no discount for him. The club will not speak for less than 90 million euros, an amount completely out of the market for him AthleticUnless he sells one of his important players along the way.
By means of the Inter de Milan is talking to the player, who has a contract until 2023. The idea is to renew him, offer him a better contract and shield him from repeating what is happening with him Athletic at this time. So the ball is on the forward's side right now. Yes Lautaro communicates that he wants a change of scene, the whole thing would be set in motion. But the Athletic I would have to find another target.
