Koke (Jorge Resurrección Merodio) spoke about Atletico de Madrid’s chances to sign Lionel Messi and how he would convince the player to join the team. Lionel Messi has been the center of attention over the past few weeks. This time it wasn’t because of his professional performance. As the January transfer window draws closer, the Argentine’s future becomes more and more uncertain.
This morning it was Koke’s turn to cause a stir. The Atleti captain was asked if signing the former Ballon D’Or winner was a real possibility or just a utopian scenario.

“It’s tough. I think Leo has practically done his entire career at Barcelona and it will be difficult for him to leave the club. If he does, he will have to make a decision about where to play in the future, so why not at Atletico de Madrid? ”Said Koke.
“When we talk to friends we often laugh and ask: how would you convince Messi to go to Atletico de Madrid? It is difficult because Atletico cannot afford the player salary that they have in Barcelona. “
Suarez could help seal the deal.
As unlikely as the transfer may seem, Koke believes Atletico have a “secret weapon” in Luis Suarez. In addition, the current form of the Colchoneros could have another attraction for the Argentine captain.
“At the end of the day, we footballers are hungry to win. This is football, we have a great squad. The players we have are spectacular. Hopefully this can be our Champions League year. “
What do you mean? Is it a real possibility or is it out of the question for Lionel Messi to play for one of the teams from Madrid? ????
