Diego Simeone provides a great favor to Barcelona and its fans
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has provided an unusually valuable service to Barcelona and its fans, according to Catalan newspaper El Nacional.
Atletico Madrid are having a turbulent season, having failed in all competitions they competed in. They currently sit third in La Liga and have one foot in the Champions League last season, but this is their only success this season.
As will happen at Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid will undergo a period of replacement and renewal of the team during the summer transfer window, and Diego Simeone has reportedly asked his club’s management to sign a Barcelona player.
Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, is keen to make radical changes to its squad, despite the tremendous success achieved by Hansi Flick with a reduced squad this season. The club won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, topped the La Liga standings, and was eliminated from the Champions League due to a clear refereeing conspiracy in the semi-finals.
According to El Nacional, Diego Simeone has asked Atletico Madrid to sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo during the current summer transfer window. This news will please Barcelona fans.
Ronald Araujo is a fine defender, but he has cost Barcelona a lot this season and in previous seasons. He was clearly at fault in the defeat to Inter Milan and received so much fan criticism that he was forced to turn off comments on Instagram.
The Argentine coach believes Araujo will fit perfectly into his defensive system, both in terms of his density and his ability to anticipate high balls and play in the air.
With Atlético rebuilding their defense and several players on the horizon, Simeone suggested to the sporting directors that they explore the feasibility of signing him. Barcelona appears to have no objections, but only if the club receives a suitable financial offer.
