Atlético’s market coup. The red and white club is about to close the long-awaited pivot that Simeone was looking for. According to the Belgian media HLN, there is already an agreement between the colchoneros and Antwerp for Arthur Vermeeren. Although, as AS has learned, the signing is still being finalized. A pact estimated at around 27 million with variants included, something that Fabrizio Romano also confirms.
Vermeeren is a midfielder who is only 18 years old, with a market value of 30 million for Transfermarkt and considered one of the players with the most future in Europe. An absolute international with Belgium, he already has two games with Domenico Tedesco despite being from the 2005 generation, he marveled in this Champions League and excelled against Barcelona. What’s more, Vermeeren scored a goal in the 3-2 victory against the Blaugrana team. Something that sparked the interest of Joan Laporta’s club.
According to HLN, Arthur Vermeeren has permission to travel to Madrid this Thursday. There is still no agreement between Atlético and the footballer, but there will be no problem since he is delighted with the option of joining the red and white club. Atlético, meanwhile, has been accelerating the exit operation, with Javi Galán heading to Real Sociedad, Grbic to England, Söyüncü to Fenerbahçe and waiting to know the future of Ángel Correa, who could leave for Saudi Arabia. Moldovan will reinforce the goal, Moise Kean the attack and Vermeeren would be the icing on the cake for a midfield that has been lacking a pivot since the summer. A bet for the future, a very technical player, with ball delivery and deployment.
