Udinese, Perez’s confirmation will depend on Simeone and Becao’s future

UDINE. Confirmation of Nehuen Perez for Udinese of the coming year is far from obvious and decidedly released from that formula – two-year loan – which had been attached as the price tag to the Argentine defender when he landed in Friuli last August 28 with a negotiation released from ‘deal Rodrigo De Paul with Atletico Madrid.

The reason is very simple: the Colchoneros can withdraw the loan after June 30 and bring it back to their availability. A tangible hypothesis that, according to the Spanish version of the Internet portal Goal.com, is a fact, as explained in an article written on Wednesday 18 May: “Atletico are trying to lend it again, but will also listen to the offers that will arrive for player”.

So it seems almost an own goal, not so much for the second part of what still remains a hypothesis – rather than an indiscretion -, but rather for the intention to seek another year of loan for the current number 2 of the Udinese, given that the boy grew up here and played a lot after an understandable period of apprenticeship.

19 appearances (seasoned with an assist, the one for the 1-1 against Lazio) and 1605 minutes on the pitch, not bad for a defender who still has to turn 22 years old: he will do it on the 24th of next June.

The following week he will know his own destiny for which the Spanish newspaper AS has been much more precise in the past few hours. It will be there Cholo Simeonein fact, to decide the future of Nehuen Perez, because after embracing the idea of ​​the “three-man” defense he might need new interpreters in addition to those he used in the season that is running out and which started with a rearguard “A 4”, therefore only with two central role.

Here, just the experience of Perez in an odd defense like that of Udinese (where the Argentine was able to play even on the left), could convince Simeone to try Perez: he needs fresh forces, since he has exploited more than I can the four power stations available, the Uruguayan Gimenezthe Spanish Handsomethe Brazilian Felipe and the Montenegrin Savic.

The move can also be facilitated at the bureaucratic level, considering that last summer Perez, returning from loan to Granada, was not taken into consideration for the registration limit of non-EU citizens in the Liga: three. He was preferred to him Matheus CunhaBrazilian, to enhance the attack, but today Nehuen could return to the parent company precisely because Felipe will also receive Spanish citizenship.

And Udinese? Will he make an attempt to hold him back in case the Cholo decides to cancel the loan? Much will also depend on the future of Rodrigo Becaothe Brazilian who in the event of a sale after three years of continuous growth in Juventus would open a flaw on the right, where it is risky to think of ownership of the 18-year-old Ghanaian (with an Irish passport) James Abankwahtaken last January from St. Patrick’s Athletic, which a year behind a Perez would not hurt.

Permitting Simeone, he will be what the Argentine’s agent is Davor Curkovic he will tell Atletico in the coming weeks. That Curkovic who brought Lazar Samardzic and who brought the Slovenian international here on a free transfer Password Lovric for next season.
