Final surprise in the fate of Mario Hermoso , the footballer from Madrid will stay in Europe , as he wanted, and finally finds a team. His destination will not be Turkey , nor England , nor will he continue in Spain ; he will play in Italy . Roma is the one who has bet on the player from Barrio de la Concepción and who has offered him the best conditions to sign him permanently.
The Italians and Atlético de Madrid have clashed this summer over the negotiations for Artem Dovbyk , who chose Roma over Atlético . It is known that it was because of the breakdown of talks with his Ukrainian agent, and he went to Italy . As for Mario Hermoso , Atlético de Madrid did not offer him the conditions he wanted and, after arduous discussions, it was decided not to renew his contract.
In December, the red-and-white team's sporting management offered him a contract renewal at a lower rate, like all his teammates. Koke accepted the reduction, Giménez accepted the reduction, Antoine Griezmann too, but Mario Hermoso had other plans. He considered that his contract should be higher, since he was important in recent months for the colchoneros, in addition to it being his last major sporting contract.
Simeone got wet for Hermoso
Even the Madrid native was asked by Diego Pablo Simeone to continue, theAtlético de Madrid coach was very vocal about it. But neither the club nor the Madrid player paid attention to the Atlético coach, who had a meeting with Mario Hermoso in Ibiza . Although it was denied that it was to renew, it was explained that it was more of a personal thing than anything else.
The footballer decided a few weeks ago to break ties with his agents, hoping they would find him a destination, with England among his preferences. But it was not to be; England did not make any kind of offer that he considered attractive, so he headed towards Italy. He tried his luck with Milan ; the arrival of Álvaro Morata could have helped him, but there were no possibilities.
Italy will be his destination: AS Roma
Neither Inter Milan nor Juventus of Turin paid attention to his demands, and even Como was not a real possibility. Even less so was Napoli , who publicly denied it, leaving him in a very, very bad light. The Neapolitans, tired of so many rumours, decided to put an end to it and put an end to the rumour mill, publicly denying his arrival.
Manchester United was an attempt by his agents, after Leny Yoro's injury, but it didn't materialize. Erik ten Hag had a clear idea of the profile he wanted, and it was Matthijs de Ligt , a player he had trained at Ajax . Mario Hermoso is already flying to Rome to sign his contract with the Italian club for the next three seasons.
