Diego Pablo Simeone has a clear objective for next summer: he is a striker that the coach loves and who will perfectly complement Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sorloth , recently signed. The probable departure of Antoine Griezmann , or even that he could be moved to another position. The possibility that the Frenchman ends his last years with the red-and-white team playing as an inside midfielder to take advantage of his arrival and his vision of the game is highly feasible.
Atlético de Madrid 's sporting management is holding open talks with the entourage of Jonathan David , the Canadian striker from Lille . The 24-year-old has received many proposals, but one of the ones he likes the most is from the red-and-white team. The Madrid team do not want to miss the opportunity to sign him at zero cost, despite being aware of the high competition for the Canadian striker from French side Lille .
This summer, the directors of the Madrid club approached their counterparts at the French club, although the response they received ended up dissuading them. The French asked for 50 million for a player whose contract expires next summer, and the red-and-whites looked for other options. This is how Alexander Sorloth was signed, one of the priorities of the technical secretariat of the Madrid team.
Simeone sees a trio between Julián, Sorloth and David
Diego Pablo Simeone envisions an attack with Julián Álvarez,Alexander Sorloth and Jonathan David , withAntoine Griezmann further back. There is a great relationship with Atlético de Madrid in Canada and there is no doubt that bringing in a player like him would greatly increase that great bond. It is not only the Colchoneros who are putting pressure on their entourage; Italian clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan are also keeping an eye on them.
Jonathan David is 24 years old, a Canadian international and joined Lille in the 20/21 season from KAA Gent in Belgium . He made his professional debut there at just 18 years old; with the Belgian club he became a top player. After playing 83 games and scoring 37 goals , the Lille team paid nearly 30 million euros for his services.
Reinildo is looking forward to his future
He won his first Ligue 1 title with the Nord , in a team that included, among others, Reinildo Mandava, an old teammate of his. The Mozambican and the Canadian striker, together with Christophe Galtier as coach, defeated a PSG team and took the league title. Surprising the entire world, since a defeat by the all-powerful Parisian team was an unexpected event.
Atlético de Madrid want to bring him to Spain and once again challenge him to surpass Kylian Mbappé as in 2021. When both teams were crowned champions of their respective leagues, Jonathan David also took home the French Super Cup , and reuniting with Reinildo Mandava would be an incentive for the Canadian player.
The Mozambican is trying to convince Diego Pablo Simeone that his future is at Atlético de Madrid , with whom he wants to extend his contract. His contract ends on June 30; renewing it and sharing a team again with Jonathan David is his dream. That is why he has already given his contact information to the coaching staff so that they can start 'working' on his signing.
