Papu Gómez costs 17 million

Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez may be living the last weeks as an Atalanta player. The War with Gasperini is total and the Argentine has once again been left out of the team's list to visit Bologna. It's the second game in a row that the team captain won't even focus. To this day it is totally impossible for Papu Gómez to be in the ranks of the DEA beyond the winter market and therefore he will face Real Madrid in the second round of Champions in February.

Corriere della Sera points out that in the next few days His agent, Guiseppe Riso, will meet with the Percassi family, owner and owner of Atalanta, to seek a solution to an issue that is already taking hold. The player's idea is that the Bergamo entity will facilitate the exit since he still has a year and a half left on his contract (ends on June 30, 2022). Meanwhile, as it progresses Tuttosport, Atalanta asks interested clubs (Juve, Inter, Milan, Naples, Lazio, PSG …) around € 10M to let the footballer gosince they can't give away a player to reinforce a direct rival. The option of going to the US is also on the table. To those 10 million we would have to add the token that remains to be collected from the playmaker and that amounts to about 3.5 million euros until the end of the contract, figures to which it would be necessary to add 1.15 million taxes per million of salary, according to lax Italian legislation. Therefore, the club that wants to acquire the services of Papu Gómez must know that he has to pay about 17 million euros for a footballer who turns 33 next February. It seems like a bargain.
