Atleti does not rule out returning to the load by Rodrigo in December

He still loves Rodrigo Moreno. Although Diego Pablo Simeone is satisfied with the squad he has, the coach of Atletico Madrid believes that he is still missing a player who can play second-point, who is versatile in several positions and who can sweep the entire front of attack , alternating with Morata, Diego Costa and Joao Felix. El Cholo continues to think that he needs that profile and within the economic possibilities that the club has, he will continue insisting with the signing of Rodrigo, as he has been able to know Goal, in the month of December, when the following window opens in the transfer market. Simeone, who insisted the club to have the player this summer and has not succeeded, will continue to push for his services in winter.

As published Goal, Peter Lim and Gil Marín, with the intermediation of Jorge Mendes, agreed to sell Rodrigo Moreno to Atleti for 60 million euros, in a business conditioned on the departure of Ángel Correa from the rojiblanco team. As the conditions were not met, Rodrigo had to stay in Valencia and saw his signing frustrated. The situation affected the striker of the Spanish team, who spent more than twenty days with his future in the air and waiting for a call that never occurred.

Although he was told that he had been transferred and that he had said goodbye to his teammates in Paterna, because he was going to be an Atlético player, Rodrigo has stayed in Valencia. Peter Lim waited until the close of the market, on day 2, to allow time for Atleti to have the money to pay for the operation, but that did not happen and everything broke. Now Rodrigo Moreno will continue under Marcelino's orders. At least until December. It remains to be seen what position Valencia will have with respect to the forward, priced this summer at about 60 kilos. And what decision will Lim, who wants to recover part of his investment, if Atleti decides to return to the load in winter. It's no secret: Lim will sell if the offer is good and Simeone still loves Rodrigo.
