PThe days go by and the downward renewal offer made by the Athletic a Sime Vrsaljko still no response from the Croatian. Assuming that the position of right back is one of the great priorities of the rojiblancos in this market, the future of the 24 conditions the search for one or two footballers for that demarcation. From the output of tripper in the past month of January those of Simeone they were orphaned in a position in which English had been a fundamental piece last year.
Once the Trippier stage was over, Atlético brought in Daniel Wass to cover the loss of the British. The Dane, on the other hand, did not quite enter into Cholo’s plans and it does not seem that he is going to occupy the demarcation of full-back / lane in the immediate future. So much Llorente like Vrsaljko they have been occupying that position since the aforementioned departure of Trippier and now that a new transfer market arrives, the club plans to reinforce that position. The key is to know if with a footballer or with two.
With Nahuel Molina As the player who most likes to be the starting ‘2’ next season, doubts about the continuity of a Vrsaljko whose contract is ending and has not responded to the club’s renewal offer, force them to study other ways. This is where the figure of Paul Maffeo. The vermilion footballer has had a great campaign with the Majorca achieving salvation. The result of this is that the Balearic team has decided to make effective the purchase option it had on the Catalan. 3.5 million euros is the amount they will pay to the VFB Stuttgart for taking over Pablo’s services.
With 35 league games, one goal and five assists, Maffeo had a great season on the island at the age of 24. That is why in the next few days there could be a meeting between the footballer’s agents and the Balearic club to analyze the future of the winger. The footballer knows of the interest of several teams in his services and the option of Atlético would be a leap in his career. Mallorca, for its part, could make money with a highly valued footballer and for whom they have had to make a small outlay for what we are used to in the world of football. That is why the option that Maffeo could be transferred this summer is not ruled out despite having been one of the most beloved footballers by the Mallorcan fans this year.
Maffeo, side and lane
Atlético welcomes the possible arrival of a player they have been following for a long time and has always liked the club. This season in Mallorca has served to confirm that Maffeo can perform both side like lane and that it could be an affordable option for the red and white coffers. The possibility that footballers would enter on loan could serve to reduce an operation that is already not excessively expensive. The rojiblancos have several homegrown players that they would like to see next year in the First Division and Mallorca would undoubtedly be a good destination. For now, we will have to wait until Vrsaljko’s future is resolved to see the next moves.
