simeone

The Spanish champions Atletico Madrid have set their price for Italian winger Alessio Cerci at €15 million. Inter were hoping for a loan with a redemption clause but this idea now seems impossible. In fact Diego Simeone is not sold on the idea of Cerci departing in January. Indeed the Argentinian ex Nerazzurro intends to use Cerci on an increased basis during the next five games. If there is some success Simeone would like to choose in the summer rather than January if the ex Torino man is to stay in Madrid. Sending Cerci away in the upcoming market would be a recognition that the move was an error and this is not something ‘Cholo’ is keen to do.
