It is Confirmed: Simeone Learns the Bad News and Tells Julián Álvarez

The Atlético coach has spoken to his striker about the rumors surrounding one of his teammates.

At Atlético de Madrid there are a number of essential players for the club's coach, Diego Pablo Simeone, who is extremely happy with his squad. 'El Cholo' thanked the board for their efforts in the summer, when Atlético spent a huge amount of money to strengthen a team running short of players. The colchoneros, however, radically revamped a team that had been struggling for years and that hopes to fight their way to the top this season.

One of Simeone 's favorite players, although he is not one of the new transfers, is Ángel Correa, who is having an awesome season this 24/25 and intends to keep it up. Born in Rosario, Correa is a regular player in the Atlético matches, usually starting from the bench and shaking up the games as soon as he makes contact with the ball. However, Correa, who assumes his role as a substitute, is in the spotlight for something related to his future at Atlético, where he might stop playing this year.

The 'girlfriends' That Ángel Correa Has Had

The Argentine is the lifeline of an Atlético de Madrid team that has already made the most of its number '10' this season in crucial matches in both the League and the Champions League. Correa is a sure thing and a born agitator who has no shortage of suitors and whose stay at Atlético de Madrid has already been questioned in previous years. Rumours of his presumed departure to AC Milan have been around the Atlético de Madrid orbit during several transfer markets, in which Correa has ended up staying at Atlético de Madrid.

Even so, this time there seems to be a greater force that would be very much to the liking of the striker of the red and white team, especially due to the origin of the club that has him in mind. Correa seems to be being tested by River Plate, where they would go as far as to put up  20 million euros on the table for Atlético de Madrid to let their striker go in the summer. However, the red-and-whites want to keep their striker and will not make it easy for Marcelo Gallardo 's men, who want to sign Ángel Correa at all costs.

Angel Correa, the red and white standard bearer

For a decade now, the name of Ángel Correa has been linked to the club he always showed a fondness for and to which he owes and has given him so much. Correa can't be understood without Atlético and Atlético can't be understood without Correa in this glorious period of Cholo Simeone's life, where the '10' has been fundamental. Both Correa and Simeone's Atlético are determined to continue to enlarge their legend together and hope to continue to be linked in the coming years and continue to delight the Atlético fans.
