MADRID – Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone looked forward to summer reinforcements at Inter Milan.
The 55-year-old Argentine would like to bring Nicola Barella, a world-class midfielder from Inter Milan, to the team in the summer transfer window. The Spanish website Fichajes.net alludes to the fact that Koke, the 33-year-old living and still playing legend of “Los Colchoneros”, has a significant part of his career behind him and his valid contract expires in the summer of 2026.
Diego Simeone’s football is based on the excellent physical preparation of the players, which Barella would fulfill, as he belongs to the European elite in this respect, and he is also a top player in terms of quality in the midfield. He is therefore the perfect link between energy, tactical maturity and quality on the ball.
He came to Inter in 2020 from Cagliari for 32 million euros, today his price is estimated to be double, while the Nerazzurri would probably ask for more than 60-65 million euros. Fichajes.net points out that after the arrival of new investors to the club, Atlético has different and richer financial options, thanks to which it focuses on the arrival of immediate player quality.
But if the smaller Madrid club wants to attract Barella to the Spanish metropolis, they will not only have to reach deep into their pockets, but also use persuasive methods to get him away from his native country and the elite Serie A team
