ATLETICO DE MADRID WORKING TO BRING BACK DIEGO RIBAS

Spanish Football Club Atletico de Madrid has never really forgotten about Brazilian & Wolfsburg midfielder Diego Ribas. Atletico de Madrid Coach Simeone has made sure that the "top brass" at the Club never forget as he still considers the player that "final" piece left of his Masterplan. The player left a lasting impression while on loan in 2012 ( winning a Europa League title ) & recovering the player from the German Club has been almost impossible since. Wolfsburg wants big money & this put a break to all the Atletico ambitions.

However, things are about to shift in favour of the Spanish Football Club. The player ends contract with Wolfsburg on June 2014, therefore if the player does not renew contract he will be a "free agent" as of the 1st of January. This leads to two options

• the German Club attempts to get some money & sells Diego in the "Winter Market"
• the player holds on till June 2014 & leaves free of transfer fee.

It is rumoured that Atletico de Madrid President Gil is in Germany to talk with Wolfsburg & the player & perhaps come back home with a pre-agreement or a "Winter Market" promise.

The other obstacle is the players salary too high for Atletico de Madrid, but yet again he would come "free of charge" , this is the players argument. Stay tuned for developments.
