After recruiting Javi Galan, Caglar Soyuncu, Cesar Azpilicueta and Santiago Mourino since the beginning of the summer, Atlético de Madrid has acquired a very strong defensive squad.
After strengthening this sector, the leaders of Atlético looked at the next position to be filled: the defensive midfielder.
Diego Simeone is keen to sign a new option to compete with club captain Koke and the main candidate for the Colchoneros is Marco Verratti.
Atletico greatly admire Verratti and dream of signing him this summer. According to the journalist The Team Loic Tanzi, Atletico have started preliminary negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for the possible signing of the Italian.
No offer has yet been made, but depending on the outcome of the negotiations, an offer could be made in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately for Atlético de Madrid, PSG’s asking price for the midfielder is estimated at 80 million euros, which could certainly block Atlético de Madrid in their quest for the Italian international. However, this price could be negotiated downwards.
