The Atlético de Madrid
hurries the last days to return to work and will do it with a new face, with that of frames
Paul, the young Brazilian striker signed by the mattress club a few months ago, taking advantage of the fact that he was free.
A very intelligent move by the rojiblanco club, which has many hopes placed on the player. The wonder boy of Brazilian football ended his contract with Fluminense this past June 30 and he is free to announce his signing. Something that will be done shortly.
Always before the Athletic I return to work this next July 7 because the idea is that the player is under the orders of Simeone at that moment. His future will be written in the preseason. In principle it is predestined to come out, but with the quality that they assure it has, any hypothesis is open.
For example, that of taking the place of Vitolo, if the Canarian player finally ends up leaving, as is his wish, in view of the few minutes he has had in recent seasons. In any case, we will have to wait in relation to frames
Paul.
On Spain He is a complete stranger, but in Brazil he happened to be one of the most promising players. What would the situation be like, what Fluminense he hoped it would be the biggest transfer in its history. By cons, he left for free after he failed to renew.
A decision of character of the young footballer that it cost him to spend the entire second part of the season without participating with the team, practically apart and training in the lower categories. But he was clear that he wanted to play in the Atlético de Madrid and in Europe. He didn't mind putting up with that pressure.
SPECTACULAR NUMBERS
We are talking about a footballer who is not a forward, that is the first thing to clarify. Although he can function as a second striker, he is a left winger who can also play in the right lane. Fast, cheeky, overflowing.
His numbers in the last season are tremendous and that he was apart for a long time. No less than 65 games in which he scored 11 goals and gave 10 assists.
In addition, something that adds a lot. He has a Portuguese passport so he will not be a foreigner. In fact, he is international in the lower categories of the Portuguese national team despite having been born in Brazil. If he continues to evolve, he could very possibly end up choosing which team he will play for, Brazil or very surely Portugal.
