After his goal against Juve, the Argentine is confirmed as a forward ready to make the big leap to England or Spain
“When a forward reaches fifty goals in Serie A, he is ready to play anywhere in the world”. The phrase of the mythical Italian coach, Giovanni Trappatoni, is applicable to the reality of Giovanni Simeone, who this weekend has scored his 50th goal in the Italian championship, specifically in the ranks of the Cagliari. That “El Cholito” is breaking it in his Italian stage is not a novelty, nor is the interest of several European teams in hiring him, especially English and Spanish. To Gio, son of Diego Pablo Simeone, is always related to Atlético de Madrid Sevilla or Villarreal. However, the club that loves him will have to bet heavily on him. He continues to score goals, his cache is growing and at this rate, he soon aspires to play in a “big game”.
Gio Simeone’s 50th goal in Serie A came in the match against the almighty Juventus, in which “Vecchia Signora” won 1-3. Of course, the goal of the Sardinian honor was the work of “El Cholito”, who curiously is very good at “vaccinating” Juve, because last season he scored a great goal in what meant an important victory for Cagliari by 2-0.
Simeone has already accumulated 18 goals with Cagliari, for the 20 he previously scored with Fiorentina, to which should be added the 12 goals he already scored wearing the Genoa shirt. In total, 50 targets in a championship as complicated as the Italian one. It should be remembered that last season he finished with 12 goals in the league, the second Argentine with more just two behind Lautaro Martínez and ahead of Paulo Dybala or Joaquín Correa, among others.
The “great step”, England or Spain
Gio continues to value his time in Italy and believes that he is very close to being able to make the big “jump”. Play in the Premier or LaLiga. “My old man, when I was a boy, told me that I had to go to Italy to learn for a year and that later, due to my qualities, I had to go to Spain or England. Soccer here is very difficult. A goal in Italy is worth twice as much as anywhere else “, recalls the scion of the Atlético de Madrid coach.
His father has already commented several times his position regarding the hypothetical signing of his sonor: “I’d love to bring it. But it would not do him good today, people are bad and immediately look for situations that do not exist. Beyond suspicions, if there is something that is proven, it is that the forward’s surname weighs much less than his number of goals. He is 25 years old, has made his debut with the Argentine national team, easily sees the door in Serie A and is a forward whose progression is beginning to be really important. In fact, it came to “sound” as a possible winter reinforcement for Atleti, which finally signed Moussa Dembélé.
Of the teams that follow him, the last to show great interest was the West Ham, who unsuccessfully tried a formula to take it to the winter market after the departure of Sebastian Haller. For now, Gio is focused on finishing the season as well as possible with Cagliari and when the next transfer window arrives, he will study his future and decide what is best for his career. He wants to continue growing and does not need a “sponsor”. Gio Simeone is defended by his numbers. His goals.
