Will there be three Red Devils at theAtletico Madrid next year ? In any case, the question deserves to be asked. According to our information, Diego Simeone in person would keep a watchful eye on Timothy Castagne. The Belgian from Leicester would even be the club’s priority in this coveted right-back position.
It must be said that in recent years, Castagne has caught the eye of a lot of teams. Hyper offensive, intelligent in his decisions, precise in his crosses, the former Genkois has made his way to the sun in Leicester where, despite recalcitrant injuries, he remains an indisputable holder in defense.
He could therefore take a new step in his career, ultimately very intelligently linear, and engage with the Colchoneros. Only here, the financial situation of the Madrid club seriously complicates (for the moment) the steps. La Liga indeed deprives Atletico of an incoming transfer as long as there is no financial income, in other words… an outgoing transfer.
Another problem, Leicester does not seem a priori decided to let go so easily of a player appreciated by the coach, Brendan Rodgersand whose contract does not end until 2025.
The first contacts between the different parties have in any case been made. But the road from Castagne to the Spanish capital still promises to be winding. One thing is certain: the Devil will play a friendly at OHL this Saturday with Youri Tielemans et Dennis Praet who have also started the preparation with the Foxes, despite the requests concerning them as well.
