Giuliano Simeone, who is the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, spent a lot of time with Julian Alvarez at the Olympics. During the Olympics, the City player joked with him about his possible move to the La Liga club.

Atletico are waiting to announce the arrival of Julian Alvarez in exchange for 75 million euros plus another 20 million euros in variables. A transfer that has been simmering and in which Giuliano Simeone could have had a hand in.

Simeone's son was in training with Argentina and the 24-year-old during the Olympic Games. The two were seen together and that image has already got Atletico fans excited.

The time they spent together was a lot of fun. According to 'Marca', they were already joking with each other about the possibility of the Argentinian forward also being their teammate at Atletico. "I'm coming, tell your father not to call any more", the striker reportedly said on one occasion with a laugh.

If his landing at the Metropolitano is confirmed, the Argentinian will have several compatriots in the team in addition to Giuliano. He will join De Paul, Nahuel Molina and Angel Correa, who are waiting for him with open arms.
