DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo admitted to rejecting an offer of 85 million euros or around 84 million euros from Manchester City, which wants to bring in Jose Gimenez in the transfer market this summer. The president emphasized that Gimenez is an important player for Atletico.
Manchester City still has a job in the 2020 summer transfer market, namely bringing in a new center-back. Understandably, Man City’s defensive line is considered easy to penetrate.
The player who makes Manchester City fall in love is Jose Gimenez. The Uruguay international defender appeared firmly in Atletico Madrid’s back line.
Jose Gimenez took on the role that Diego Godin left. With only 25 years of age, Jimenez’s abilities are predicted to continue to develop.
Unfortunately, Manchester City’s offer which has touched 85 million euros has not produced sweet results. In fact, this value is fairly high in the world economic situation which is being hit due to the corona virus pandemic.
“Manchester City have offered us an offer of 85 million euros. However, Gimenez is an extraordinary player and we are interested in having extraordinary players in the team,” explained Enrique Cerezo to El Transistor.
Finally, Manchester City turned their eyes to Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly. So far, negotiations are still tough. Il Partenopei is said to have charged 80 million euros for the defender.
In addition, The Citizens are also eyeing Sevilla defender, Joules Kounde. However, Sevilla reportedly has no intention of selling the young star.
