Atletico Madrid interested in signing Florenzi

Atletico Madrid continue to look to strengthen their team in the transfer market for next season, in which the Champions League will be their main target. Antoine Griezmann is staying and they have signed Thomas Lemar, but they still have business to do.

All suggestions are that club captain Gabi will leave Diego Simeone's team to go to play in Qatar alongside Xavi, meaning that the 'colchoneros' will need to strengthen in midfield.

Despite that, it's been reported by 'Corriere dello Sport' in Italy that the Italian international is close to making a move to the Spanish capital, with Roma looking to cash in on the player before he is able to leave on a free transfer.

At the moment, Florenzi is still considering his options after the club offered him a salary of €2.7 million when he had asked for 4 million.

Inter Milan are also waiting to see what Florenzi will decide for his future.
