Note

Atletico will have to fight with the big teams in the Premier League to secure the signing of Savic. The Montenegrin footballer is sought after by the most important clubs in the English league (United, Arsenal, and Liverpool). At the moment, Fiorentina, which is asking for 15 million, has rejected Zenit's offer for Savic to strengthen the Russian team's defense. The offer has not satisfied Fiorentina, and from now on, they will listen to other clubs for the defender. Atletico is considering other names besides Savic (Abdennour and Rudiger), but the player from the Italian team is the one that Simeone likes the most to cover the backs of Godin and Gimenez.

However, there could be a three-way deal between Atletico, Monaco, and Fiorentina. Savic could go to the principality as a replacement for Abdennour at Lois II if the Tunisian player goes to Atleti. He would not take up a non-EU place in the end, since the relationships that the EU has with Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria mean that players born there do not occupy a foreigner's place in our league. As for the third party involved, Rudiger, the sports director of Stuttgart said: "There is a group of teams that want him, but we have confidence in him and we do not want to part with the player". In addition to Atletico, Chelsea have also inquired about him. The three options are on the table and the sports management will undertake the one that can be done economically and that convinces the technicians the most.
