Last summer Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid collided when it came to reinforcing their defense. And is that When the mattresses were made with Militao, Madrid appeared with the checkbook and disrupted the athletic operation who finally ended up signing his partner, Felipe.
But is that It turns out that this train crash by a central defender did not start last summer, but in 2018. Was so when Atlético de Madrid went ahead of all European clubs to close central defender Nehuén Pérez, considered the best in his position in the Americas among the U-20 category. In that summer of 2018, Real Madrid, along with other European clubs, made the intention of signing the very young player but Cholo convinced the boy and Atlético took the cat to the water for just 2.5 million euros.
Nehuén joined Atlético in January 2019, where he was only half a year and where he did not debut with the rojiblanco team. The Cholo still looked quite green and preferred a one-year loan to finish maturing. Nehuén went to the Portuguese Famalicao, a team where he has played regularly as a starter and where he has demonstrated his leadership capacity despite his age (20 years just now).
Now that the transfer was over, it was time to decide for the player if he continued with his contract at Atlético or if he was looking for a way out to another team where you can have more opportunities. AND Simeone has once again convinced the Argentine promise by preventing him from negotiating with a Florentine who knocked on his door (his agent’s).
It is the second time that Simeone is ahead of Madrid with Nehuén, so the Whites will have to keep looking for their young central defender. who will compete with Ramos, Varane and Militao for a spot.
