In today’s paper edition of the newspaper, Milano based Gazzetta dello Sport, confirms that Inter feel safe on the Godin front and do not expect any surprises.
Reports in Spain suggest that Atletico Madrid have not given up on the possibility of persuading the Uruguayan to renew his contract, but the Gazzetta reports that Ausilio and Marotta are convinced that they have the deal secured and are only awaiting the central defenders arrival on July 1st.
Several reports in Italy reveal that the Uruguayan has agreed a 2 year deal with the Nerazzurri, with an option to extend for a third, worth €5.5 million net per season, including bonuses.
The contrasting reports from Spain are likely attempts by Atletico to calm their fans as well as the dressing room, considering the fact that with Godin still at the club, they have the chance to challenge for silverware both domestically and in Europe.
The Los Colchoneros currently sit 5 points off Barcelona in La Liga and given the league’s unpredictability this season, the league can still be considered attainable. As for Europe, should they beat Juventus in the round of 16 of the Champions League, they would be considered contenders to win the tournament.
