Newcastle aspires to imitate the athletic model of Atlético

The purchase of the Newcastle by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the investment and savings fund of the state of Saudi Arabia, has opened all kinds of speculation about the sports and transfer policy that the English team will mark.

The Saudi sovereign fund has been trying to buy the British club for almost two years, but it was not authorized until a few weeks ago. Early in 2020When the first reports of the change of ownership of Newcastle appeared, the idea of ​​the new owners was to imitate the model of the Atlético de Madrid and for this they thought of signing Andrea Berta for sports management and to bring from his hand Diego Pablo Simeone.

In the Premier League they closely follow the enormous growth that Atlético has had in the last decade and its personalized transfer policy in its sports director, who carries out the operations together with the CEO Miguel Ángel Gil and with the knowledge of Diego Pablo Simeone, whom they put on the table three transfer options so that he can choose one.

The Manchester United He has already contacted Berta and made a proposal to sign him, but Atlético’s Italian sports director is comfortable in the mattress team and preferred to remain convinced that they could win La Liga Santander, how it happened.

Those in charge of the fund that Newcastle was going to buy already surveyed Berta’s environment 18 months ago to get her to embark on the new project and her idea is to rethink that possibility to transfer the successful athletic model of Atlético to the Premier League, in order for Newcastle to compete with the Big Six, the six great EnglishLiverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur), as Atlético has managed to do with Real Madrid and Barça, the two greats of world football. Amanda Staveley, the woman behind the fortune of Mohamed bin Salman, has the task of getting Newcastle among the greats of the Premier and Europe.

Andrea Berta’s departure to Newcastle seems very complicated, as well as that he could convince Diego Pablo Simeone to embark on this new Premier League adventure. However, the new owners of the Newcastle United could make an economic offer that would at least equal the emoluments received by the Cholo at Atlético, something that few teams can do in the world. Another thing is that Simeone will accept it, because he has a contract until 2024 and his goal is to win the Champions League with the Athletes.
