According to 'AS', Atletico Madrid are not considering renewing Rodrigo de Paul and want to transfer him this summer. However, the player says he is happy and wants to finish his contract at the Metropolitano.
Any option to make money is good for Atletico Madrid, who are planning an important exit this summer, such as Rodrigo de Paul. But as the newspaper 'AS' reports, they will find themselves in conflict with the player and it will not be an easy situation to resolve.
According to the aforementioned media, the management headed by Carlos Bucero has assumed that they will not reach an agreement to renew the 30-year-old Argentinian, whose contract expires next summer 2026. Atletico will therefore try to find a buyer in the coming months for a fair price.
The club's intention is to get around 30 million euros for De Paul. This is the market value that the club is looking for, given that he only has one year left on his contract and that his performance in recent months has been good, and there are clubs in Italy who would be willing to take on his signature. However, the player is determined not to leave Madrid.
De Paul is happy at Atletico Madrid, Simeone has managed to exploit his football in several parts of the season and he does not want to leave. Knowing that he will not get a renewal offer that will satisfy him, what he wants is to use up the remaining year of his contract.
