And if he has confirmed the interest of the Colchoneros, the Madrid leader knows what to expect. “I don’t know anything yet. I imagine that the negotiations will continue and that nothing will be known until the last day “, he launched.
The champions of France seem however from now on ready to let go of the Uruguayan, the last offer formulated by Atletico, namely 15 million euros plus three million in bonus, having completed convincing them. But the Parisians will not give the green light until after having found his replacement, Leonardo active for several days to find the player has even to relieve Mauro Icardi.
Several tracks have already been mentioned, including those leading to Kevin Gameiro and Krzysztof Piatek. But according to Foot Mercato, the shortlist of the Parisian leader has two other names, those of Luka Jovic and Islam Slimani, two players that the former midfielder imagined landing on loan.
The first, helmed by Karim Benzema, has been shortened since his arrival at Real Madrid and has frankly not convinced with a meager goal in 18 games.
