Atletico boss Diego Simeone finally speaks on Saul Niguez to Chelsea deal
The transfer window slams shut on Tuesday evening, so there are two big days to conclude any dealings now, and Chelsea are expected to be busy.
We should see more outgoings, but there is also the potential of one or two more arrivals, with a midfielder being one of those potentials.
Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid is the most talked about link, and reports are still suggesting that something is being worked on here.
Diego Simeone, the Atletico boss, has spoken out about the move, and it’s probably quite positive if you’re a Chelsea fan and want to sign Saul…
Simoneone told Fichajes: “We talked to him, I told him what I think and feel. There is not much else. Between now and Tuesday, we’ll see. We know that anything can happen in football.”
As you can see, he stayed rather coy, which in these circumstances can often be quite significant. He certainly didn’t rule out the move, and it looks to be on the cards now.
