Koke Hopes Luis Suarez Tries to Persuade Lionel Messi to Join Atletico Madrid

DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid captain Koke does not deny that he wants Lionel Messi in his team following Luis Suarez, who only joined this year, but admits that it is difficult.

The future of the Barcelona superstar is being heavily gossiped about, as the contract expires in the summer of next year, and there has been no talk of renewing his tenure until now.

Atletico Madrid signed Luis Suarez from Barca this summer, and Koke admits that he would be happy to unite Lionel Messi with his good friend at the Wanda Metropolitano.

“It’s difficult. Leo has spent his entire career at Barcelona, ​​it will be difficult to take him out of there,” said the Spanish national team midfielder, reported by Goal.

“But why can’t Atleti try it? Sometimes I talk to friends and ask about how I will convince Messi to join Atletico.”

One of the biggest challenges that Los Rojiblancos will find difficult to meet is how to pay Messi’s high salary, but Suarez’s presence will be very useful to persuade him.

“Economically, it’s difficult because you can never match the salary he received at Barcelona. You never know. Players often measure themselves with hunger to win something that has never been won by him. Maybe Suarez can convince him,” said Koke.

Atletico Madrid will have an important match in La Liga this weekend, namely by fulfilling an invitation to Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano to face Real Madrid in the first volume of El Derbi Madrileno this season.
