Simeone is happy with Barrios as "5"
The transfer market is a scenario full of strategies and emotions, and this time, Manchester United is willing to challenge Atletico Madrid in the fight to sign Pierre Emile Højbjerg. The latest information reveals that the English club has intensified its interest in the Danish midfielder, putting it in a position of direct competition with Atletico Madrid, who needs at least 2 departures to be able to make the signing.
This situation puts Ten Hag's team ahead, as they want to reinforce the center of the field, where Casemiro does not have a natural replacement. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid wouldn't mind losing this signing because Simeone has found in Pablo Barrios the "5" he was looking for and for him the squad is already closed, pending the departure of Joao Félix.
