DBasia.news – Diego Godin’s contract with Atletico Madrid ends this season. Utilizing this situation, Inter Milan are getting closer to secure Godin who could come as a free agent later.
Even though he is 32, Diego Godin is still a most-wanted player for Europe big clubs. AC Milan, Juventus, and Manchester United want to sign him. With the experience and fine physical condition, he could give a positive impact on the defensive line.
The club’s interest is getting higher when Godin might come as a free agent. Currently, he hasn’t renewed his contract with Los Rojiblancos.
Some reliable media like Sky Sport and Gianluca Di Marzio said Inter Milan are just a step away to sign Godin. Later, he will sign the two-year contract with a one-year additional option. The medical review would be conducted soon.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone indicates Godin’s exit despite his expectation that he would stay.
“Godin has not signed any agreement with Inter, but the truth is that Atletico made promises to the player after the Manchester United offer and never kept them. They’ve made no effort at all to renew Godin’s contract,” Simeone said cited by Calciomercato.
“We are looking for the best solution for all the parties involved. We are working for the good of both parts, both the player and the club know what I think, we will choose the most convenient option,” he said.
Inter won’t place Godin as the successor of Milan Skriniar. The former Sampdoria player would stay until the next season.
Based on the news in Italy, Joao Miranda is the player that would get the impact of Godin’s arrival. The former Atletico Madrid player no longer included in the main squad this season. He should consider returning to Brasil or China instead.
The second player who might leave is Andrea Ranocchia. If Godin comes, he would be left out. Moreover, Inter also have the talented defender, Alessandro Bastoni, who is on-loan to Parma.
Godin’s arrival is expected to give the experience for other players. Besides that, Godin would add the choice for Luciano Spalletti for the defensive line.
