ATLETICO DE MADRID TRANSFER RUMOURS | ADRIAN & LJAJAC

Atletico de Madrid forward Adrian maybe on the verge of moving to Italy. Although the Spanish Football Club comments they have no offer, Spanish Sports media indicate that AC Roma is very interested in the forward as a substitute for departed Osvaldo. The Spanish player is "plan B" in case first objective Gilardino of Genoa fails.

But Roma is not the only Club interested, Valencia CF has also shown interest & local Football insiders comment that this option is a viable & attractive for the player. Stay tuned!

While some locally had this a done deal, the signing of Fiorentina player Adem Ljajic may have complicated itself with the "arrival" of Italian Club AC Milan on the scene. Atletico has offered around 10M€ for the 21 year old Serbian but an apparent  "pre-agreement" with Milan may "torpedo" the whole operation. This last piece of news comes out of Italy but its serious enough to have the Atletico de Madrid officials concerned with this signing. Stay tuned!

ARSENAL FC THINKING IN ATLETICO DE MADRID ADRIAN ?

ADRIAN LOPEZ, forward of Spanish Football Club ATLETICO DE MADRID, is not having a great personal season. But don´t be fooled, the player has enormous talent & was on the verge on being part of the Historical Spanish National Team that won last years Euro 2012 competition. In fact, he was also European Champion for the U/21 team ( 2011) & was the competitions top goal scorer ( Golden Boot ) with 5 goals.

This season the player is not finding the regular playing time needed to keep up momentum as his team-mate Diego Costa is currently at a higher level in form & in goals. English Premier League Club ARSENAL can see beyond current events & knows perfectly well that Adrian can potentially strengthen their squad. 

According to online Football sources Arsenal has made a 12.3M€ offer to Atletico de Madrid for the now in operation transfer window opportunity : "Winter Market". Arsenal Coach Wenger believes Adrian is a great compliment upfront along with Spanish International Carzola & Spaniard Arteta. 

My personal opinion is that Atletico also sees the great potential in Adrian & may also believe that he is worth much more than the current offer.

Stay tuned!

ATLETICO DE MADRID PRESENTS ADRIAN | HAPPY ENDING TO A LONG STORY

A SPANISH FOOTBALL story with a good ending. Young Spanish U-21 International , European U-21 Champion, European U-21 Golden Boot & ex newly relegated to 2º Division Deportivo A Coruña forward ADRIAN LOPEZ has finally made his desires a reality by signing with ATLETICO DE MADRID.

Spanish Football Player Adrian Lopez

The player finished contract this year & after Deportivo gave no signs of wishing to renew his contract Adrian Lopez signed with Atletico de Madrid. Then without notice & with a unilateral decision Deportivo communicated to Atletico that they had renewed the players contract & thus called for a transfer fee. This "shock" announcement was taken to the courts while Adrian Lopez played for Spain in the U-21 European Champions where he scored 5 goals & took the "Golden Boot Award".

The court gave its final & decisive verdict yesterday in favour of Adrian & Atletico which opened the road to sign for the Madrid Club

Adrian  new Atletico player

This afternoon Atletico de Madrid presented to National media their new player as seen in the above picture with Adrian proudly hold his new Club shirt. From here I welcome the player to Atletico - a very "special" Club - & wish him all the success in the World.

Nice end to a long Football & personal story.

COURT OPENS WAY FOR SPANISH FOOTBALL U-21 INTERNATIONAL ADRIAN TO GO TO ATLETICO

Back on the 3rd of July Spanish Football Sports posted the situation on young U-21 Spanish Football sensation ADRIAN & his conflict with his current Club DEPORTIVO who was halting his desire to move to ATLETICO DE MADRID.

Adrian

Today the Courts , via judge Cardenal, has given the reason to Adrian over his Club Deportivo after the latter unilaterally extended his contract without the consent of the player who was free & decided to sign with Atletico. Barring an appeal from Deportivo - unlikely - Adrian will soon join ATLETICO DE MADRID to continue evolving in his Football future. The Madrid Club gets on board a talented forward who was the "Golden Boot" of the recent U-21 European Championships & will add plenty of value upfront.

DEPORTIVO vs ATLETICO DE MADRID FOR U- 21 EURO CHAMP ADRIAN

football spain
English paper sources like the "Daily Mirror" publish that ASTON VILLA is preparing to "swoop" down on Spanish Football International ADRIAN ,  recently proclaimed the U-21 European  "Golden Boot" & Euro U-21 Champ. The youngster is in limbo at the moment while his Club Deportivo A Coruña recently relegated to 2º Division are in a legal battle with ATLETICO DE MADRID over a contractual issue.

The player came to an agreement with Atletico to sign for the new season as his contract with Deportivo came to an end. However the "crafty" Depor President Lendoiro had a "clause" in the players contract that allowed Depor to extend unilaterally an extra year. Obviously, Depor "pulled out" the clause when Atletico showed interest to claim a transfer fee instead of having the player go over "scott free".

The issue is currently in the courts & a sentence will be called this week. The player himself has voiced the opinion of wantinf to go to Atletico de Madrid as originally planned. 

Adrian for Spain U-21 Team

If Deportivo wins the court case, Clubs pretending the services of Adrian will have to negotiate with Deportivo & pay a transfer fee ( understand Deportivos posture now),  & here is were either Atletico de Madrid will have to fork out money ( when the player originally was presumed free of a fee) or the alternative & interested other Clubs will have to put forward a "juicy" offer. If Atletico de Madrid wins the court case, the player would be part of Atletico for next season as per the "initial agreement".

Stay tuned.
