Faced with an important offer, Atletico Madrid will be selling Sime Vrsaljko according to Madrid’s local sports newspaper, AS who reports that the Croatian fullback is keen on a return to Italy.
Inter, who see him as the ideal replacement to Joao Cancelo, will face competition from Napoli and Juventus as well as unnamed Premier League outfits. The former Sassuolo player recently renewed his contract with the Spanish side until the end of June 2022. In that contract there is a release fee clause of €100 million but unfortunately for Atletico, that clause will not be triggered and the expected amount for his sale will be around €35 million.
Sime Vrsaljko joined Atletico Madrid in 2016 from Sassuolo for a reported fee of €14 million. During this time, he has made 37 appearances and scored one goal as made four assists for the Spanish side. Inter have been interested in the Croatian fullback, who do not seem to be favored by the player.
Sime Vrsaljko has been named to the 23 man roster for the Croatian National team in this summers World Cup in Russia.
