Barcelona fell asleep, the 35 million star that Simeone would steal from them

For a long time it was said that Atlético Madrid was a humble team from Spain that had a lot of merit in finishing third behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Nowadays it is known that this is not the case in the slightest and that Colchonero has a very significant amount of money and Diego el Cholo Simeone makes it clear with the players he is looking for. Now, he would steal a 35 million euro footballer from the Catalonia team in the next transfer market.

It never ceases to surprise how the second most important team in Madrid pays a real fortune to Cholo Simeone. In fact, he is already the highest paid coach in the world above Pep Guardiola and others of equal rank. Of course, it is known that the Argentine coach has a lot of influence on the players and that he looks for those who have a profile, a style and an identity similar to that of the club. 

Now, Cholo is a coach who is constantly watching football and not only from Spain, although he focuses there. In that sense, he observed a player he likes and who is worth 35 million euros. It is known that he is a fundamental piece in the club in which he plays but that precisely that team does not have that much power to retain him and that is why I would not frown upon letting him leave so that he does not leave for free a year after the offer. Of course, he would steal it from Xavi Hernández's Barcelona, who saw it first.

The 35 million player that Simeone would steal from Barcelona

According to what the media outlet Ok Fichajes revealed, the player that Cholo Simeone wants and that Barcelona had previously looked for is none other than Guido Rodríguez. To ensure that they can hire the 29-year-old world champion midfielder, Atlético Madrid would pay Real Betis a figure close to that to win him over from Culé.
