Most observers, including myself, are confident in thought that if a ATLETICO DE MADRID star player was to leave the Club it would more likely be Argentine International Sergio Aguero. However, how is this idea for a possible alternative: DIEGO FORLAN? News from England & its paper the “Daily Star” mentions that Premier League Club TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS could be thinking in putting 25M€ on the Atletico de Madrid table to see if that convinces the Spanish Club.

The idea has weight when compared to the other possible departure & selling option in Sergio Aguero. Atletico de Madrid has some financial issues that need attending & 25M€ for a 31 year old player could “a priori” be a very attractive proposition. Atletico de Madrid may change their pre-season strategy & convince Sergio Aguero to stay as their Club "mast-head" by promising a solid project built around him with extra financial incentives, thus selling Forlan would be the logical choice. The other option for Tottenham is to pay the contract release clause of 36M€ but the English Club seems confident that they will not need to restore to this "dirty" action. Having said this, what if Forlan has a grand World Cup & bags lots of goals? The questions would then be what would be the new market price & what if Diego Forlan then decides to hold out for more options? Plus more importantly, the doubt arises in whether Forlan would really wish to go to Tottenham; this is another issue & another question. Long way to go on this rumour from the English press.

Stay tuned!

Jeresken said...: I think that this is a really good offer for Atlético, but I don't think that Diego Forlan wants to leave Spain. He is thirty-one years of age, after all. The only reason Forlan might want to leave is to play in the UEFA Champions League, but Tottenham still has to qualify for that competition, so it's not 100% certain yet. Why would Forlan leave his starting position at Atlético to risk becoming a bench player at Tottenham? The English side has lot of strikers after all.; 7:50 pm
