Brilliant first season for Giovanni Simeone in European football

Arriving last summer from River Plate in exchange for just over €5 million, the current Genoa forward has scored a total of 11 goals in the 29 official matches he has played so far (10 in 28 in Serie A).

Impressive stats for a 21-year-old newcomer

These good numbers and his performance have caught the attention of several clubs. Among these are several Spanish clubs, such as Villarreal or Sevilla, who are closely following his progress with the intention of making a move for him.

Interest from Atletico Madrid

Another club that has joined the bidding is Atletico Madrid, a team coached by his own father, who would be very interested in adding the young talent to their squad. This is precisely what has been highlighted in the information published by Il Messaggero, according to which the red and whites have made an offer of €18 million that has been rejected by Genoa. There is no doubt that, while waiting for the final decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding FIFA's ban on signing players, Atletico Madrid is aware of the need to add new pieces to consolidate their project and will do everything in their power to achieve this goal.
