The offer of 20 million for Molina from Atletico is still too low: it is made under Juventus

Arsenal also remains on the trail of the Argentine international so Gino Pozzo is now hoping for a real auction

UDINE. Yet another diligent and convincing performance of Nahuel Molina in the national team, serving an Argentina literally overwhelming Italy the other night in the Wembley Final, it did not go unnoticed especially in the eyes of the Juventus technical area manager Federico Cherubinipresent in London, but also to those of the Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and the Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta.

In fact, there is no mystery that these are the three clubs most interested in the Juventus right winger, for which an auction could soon be opened starting from 25 to 30 million euros, with Udinese managing the raises of the best bidder.
So it’s easy to imagine Gino Pozzo in the role of the auctioneer, but there is no doubt that the interested parties will not gather in New Bond Street, the historic seat of the famous Sotheby’s, to beat the sale price of the defender who scored the most in the season (7 goals), in the five biggest European championships.

Anyway, who was in London to talk about it in person, is Cherubini, who on the sidelines of Italy-Argentina had meetings with Jorge Mendesthe agent of Angel Di Mariaobject of the Juventus desire, and Gino Pozzo, with whom, however, it was not seen, since the son of the patron Gianpaolo was in Udine, committed to undoing the knots of the intricate situation relating to Andrea Sottil. The Watford ds was spotted instead Christian Garetta who, on behalf of the Juventus owners, could only reiterate the price for Molina.
Juve has taken note of this, and it is to be imagined that Cherubini has not broken down, mindful that to buy Pozzo at home, in the past Juve has spent a lot, just remember the 17 million for the “Tucu” Roberto Pereirai 18 per Kwadwo Asamoahi 14 per Mauritius Islandpassing through the 11 of Simone Pepe up to 5 for Marco Motta. In short, no surprise, but Juve is ready to lower the price by including some players in the deal who may be of interest to the Friulians, such as for example Filippo Ranocchia, the central midfielder born in 2001 who has just lived a season as a starter in Serie B, in the relegation of Vicenza. all, also remembering that at Juve, on that right wing, John Square will expire next year and that Mattia De Sciglio on the other hand, it is close to being renewed until 2025. However, the Atletico Madrid “envelope” will also go to auction, as the “Cholo” Simeone took action in the first person, calling Molina. Atletico would have already made an offer of 20 million euros, and from his could also put on the plate the one-year renewal of the loan of Nehuen Perezalso the other night at Wembley.
Juve and Atletico therefore, but it should not be forgotten that it was Arsenal who knocked first, so much so that in Argentina, in mid-May, they had unveiled the 29 million euro offer that the London club was willing to shell out, including a negotiation linked to Pablo Marì. However, the deal does not seem to convince the Pozzo family, given the valuation of 14 million by the 29-year-old Spanish central. –
