Until a few weeks ago, Kalinic's future only had one option: return to Atlético. Roma, the team in which he was loaned this season, wanted to part with him already in the past winter market and he also wanted to part with it when the summer window came, no matter how much he had a purchase option about Croatian. Something that the return of Series A after the forced stop because of the coronavirus has changed. Now Kalinic's future is no longer so clear.
Because his performance in these games has been different, two goals in the five games played, as if his legs had begun to obey that order from sports director Gianluca Petrachi, “If in these remaining two months, he makes seven or eight goals, his situation would change, it is clear.” Said and done. On the way is.
But with conditions. Because the original red and white was that if the Roman club wanted to keep Kalinic for 2020-21, it must be executing that compulsory purchase option (between seven or eight million), something that in Italy they are not willing. If Kalinic continues with them, he will be loaned. For Cholo it doesn't count.
