Nehuén Pérez (20 years old) still does not know what will happen to his future at Atlético. The Argentine central signed for the rojiblanco club in the summer of 2018 from Argentinos Juniors for 2.5 million euros as a bet for the future for the mattress defense, similar to what they did at the time with Giménez. However, has been chaining assignments (first in his home club and last season in the Portuguese Famalicão), without even counting for Simeone, since he has only been in the squad for six months. This course looks like he will start the preseason with the rest of his teammates in order to gain a foothold in the team.
During the campaign you played on loan at the Famalicão did a good job, playing 29 games between all competitions in which he added 2502 ’and scoring one goal. That has caused have suitors interested in getting your services looking forward to the season to come. The last of them is, as reported ‘Sky Sport Italia’, the Rome. The ‘gialorosso’ want to reinforce the axis of their rear after the departure of Smalling, which was on loan from Manchester United. In addition to trying to get back to English, his coach, Paulo Fonseca, has decided to also bet on Nehuén for that position.
It is not the first time that a major club on the continent wants to get Nehuén. Equipment like Ajax (he was willing to pay 25 million euros for him) or Leverkusen have sounded in recent months as possible destinations of the international with the albiceleste. However, what will happen to Nehuén has not yet been decided. Actually there are five centrals in the red and white squad (Nehuén, Savic, Giménez, Felipe and Hermoso) and at least one of them is left over. The main candidate to leave is the ex of Espanyol, since he is the one who played the least last season (1691 ’) and there are several clubs that want him, such as the Real Sociedad. Then, Nehuén would have many ballots to stay this campaign and be the central room for Simeone. Still, Cholo wants to see him in action in the preseason before making a decision on it.
