On many other occasions, at this point in the market Diego Simeone was quite restless, before the stalking of European giants on some of his figures.
In its first episode (2012), for example, no one breathed at Atlético until the clock struck 00.00 and the threat to
Radamel Falcao
, who had just released a thunderous howl, with a triplet in the final of the European Super Cup,
ceased.
against Chelsea.
When the Colombian was gone, the name of
Jan Oblak
emerged
, observed and desired from the Premier and associated so many times with the path of PSG.
And so ... El Cholo has often lived with intrigue the reality of having someone on target.
Hence, he has always repeated that of: "Until the market closes ...".
Yesterday, in the preview of the game against Villarreal (4:00 pm), Simeone was not at all agitated by the matter.
And that the door will not close until next Monday, October 5.
The global crisis unleashed by the coronavirus has forced Europe's sharks to hide their fangs.
So the main nucleus of Atlético, driven in this start by the fantasy of
Joao Félix
, is in no danger.
"The idea is to make three or four changes at most, except if a player exercises his termination clause," said
Miguel Ángel Gil
, the club's largest shareholder, days after derailing in Lisbon against Leipzig.
And since nobody seems to be going to resort to his clause to leave the team, after the signings of the second goalkeeper
Grbic
and, above all, after capturing the striker Luis Suárez, based on that phrase, only one or two touches would remain to Template.
In these appears the name of
Lucas Torreira
, Uruguayan midfielder, friend and teammate of Suárez, whose transfer from Arsenal seems well under way.
Of course, whenever there is shelter for one of the midfielders.
Herrera has many ballots to change shirts.
Because
Diego Costa
, unless someone gathers enough money to pay his salary or decides otherwise, will continue with Cholo.
And he will do it with enthusiasm.
At least that's what he spoke to the coach.
"He knows what I want from him, what I need and we have in mind," Diego Simeone insisted yesterday.
For the Argentine, with 26 players in the first team, including Nikola
Kalinic
, with a contract and, also, with permission to find a team, what Cholo is most concerned about is releasing ballast and lightening the dressing room as soon as possible.
Bentido unveil this season, of course.
Since January, when
Cavani
was negotiating with Atlético,
Lemar has been
dancing on a string.
His departure would slightly oxygenate the club's tight wage bill.
The simplest format, and the one that is in fashion due to the difficult economic situation, is the transfer.
The youth squad
Mollejo is there
, waiting for news to know his fate.
Or some central: read
Nehuén Pérez
.
Or
Herrera
himself
.
Saponjic
(64 minutes last year) is still there too.
