Atlético de Madrid has closed one of the most important sales that the Madrid entity can remember in recent seasons. Samu Omorodion will be a new Chelsea player in the next few hours, after both clubs have reached an agreement for his transfer. The Spanish striker was the Stamford Bridge team's big priority to strengthen their forward line for the future.
It is true that Samu Omorodion 's desire was always to have an opportunity in the Atlético de Madrid first team. However, the possibility of being able to sign Julián Álvarez completely changed the plans of the red and white team. Now, the former Granada player will sign for seven seasons and the colchoneros will incorporate a current world champion .
Samu Omorodion, an incredible business
Of course, it cannot be said that the Melilla attacker's career has been easy since his debut with Granada. After the first day of LaLiga, Atlético de Madrid did not hesitate and paid his termination clause of six million euros to incorporate him. He had a good season at Deportivo Alavés , although in the last games he lost the starting position and made several substitutions.
Likewise, Samu Omorodion became the player with the highest market value on the mattress team, something spectacular. In fact, the coaching staff had high hopes for the player, who was going to be given an opportunity this season. However, Chelsea have never lost hope to achieve his transfer and the red and white team had other priorities.
Samu Omorodion leaves the Metropolitano without having debuted with the Atletico jersey and leaving more than 40 million euros in the coffers. This amount is what Atlético de Madrid will use to be able to reinforce itself with the arrival of Julián Álvarez. In this way, the Spaniard will be the new reference in attack for the London team and the Argentine will be the star in the Spanish capital.
a matter of hours
Both operations are directly linked, since Simeone will not be able to count on his new reinforcement until the sale of Samu Omorodion. Furthermore, the Spaniard will also not be able to sign with Chelsea until Atlético de Madrid has completely closed the transfer of Julián Álvarez . Both operations are at their final point and, barring catastrophe , both operations will come to fruition in the next few hours.
Julián Álvarez knows what it is to win all the titles with Manchester City , the best team in Europe at the moment. Now, his desire is to feel more like a protagonist in another European great that wants to aspire to fight for all the trophies. Simeone incorporates one of the best forwards in the world to his squad with the aim of finishing the season hitting metal.
