Atletico Madrid stands at a crossroads regarding the upcoming season. The future project will depend on the presence of Rojblancos in the next edition of the Champions League. Not reaching the top four in the standings means a really serious problem for the Madrid team, a situation that could force them to lay off important players.
A situation that does not know very well how it will affect Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid. No one is ignorant that the Argentine is one of the most respected coaches in the world and that there is a lot of attention on him. If everything follows its natural course, then Rojiblancos fans need not worry. He has a contract with Atlético Madrid until 2024, he wants to continue and if the project is attractive enough to continue competing, then there will be no problem.
However, the Argentine is in the crosshairs of one of the most powerful clubs in the world economically. We are talking about Paris Saint-Germain. Cholo is an old dream of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the head of the French team, and the representative of the Qatari Sheikh, the owner of the club. The Champions League shock against Real Madrid resulted in an earthquake in Paris Saint-Germain.
French media confirmed that Mauricio Pochettino will not continue at the head of the Parisian team. And the newspaper “L’Equipe” published on Monday, March 14, that Paris Saint-Germain is dealing with the name of Diego Pablo Simeone to take his seat next season.
In fact, it is an old obsession of Nasser Al-Khelaifi with whom he once tried.
Let’s remember that Carla Pereira, the wife of Diego Pablo Simeone, told in 2018, in a gossip magazine, that the Argentine coach rejected an offer from Paris Saint-Germain that was tempted by twice what he was earning at the time at Atletico. So it was a very strong temptation, at least he thought of the possibility.
Over the years, after ten years at the helm of Atletico Madrid and having already awarded them eight titles, including Dorian, in the Metropolitan, they are worried about a possible new attack by Paris Saint-Germain next summer.
