This season, Atletico Madrid coach Giovanni Simeone's son, Giovanni Simeone, has exploded in Serie A: 15 goals and 4 assists in 27 appearances, and the efficiency of one goal in an average of 122 minutes has made him the focus of market attention. Unlike his father, who played as a midfielder in his playing career, Simeone Jr., who played the center position, played the role of a finisher. According to the Daily Sports, the son of the famous player is likely to leave Serie A this summer and land in the Premier League or La Liga.
Simeone Jr.'s famous work was Verona's 4-1 home victory over Lazio in the 9th round of Serie A, and Simeone Jr. staged a senior year. In the 27th round he used a hat-trick to help the team beat Venice. On the occasion of being sought after by the media, Simeone Jr. modestly said: "Scoring is not everything for a striker, helping the team win is the most important thing, my aim is to dedicate everything for my teammates!" Premier League side Newcastle has long coveted Simeone Jr., and the new local tycoon who wants to make a big difference next season obviously needs a strong goalscorer to strengthen the front, and in the eyes of the Magpies, signing the Argentine shooter is very much in line with the team's team-building ideas.
In addition to Newcastle, Atletico Madrid is also a suitor for Simeone Jr. Although the current Atletico front line is full of masters, it is basically useless. Cunha, signed last summer, and Griezmann, who returned last summer, did not play well, Felix played unevenly, and Suarez Limpo was old and likely to leave free this summer. If Simeone Jr. can join, then under the personal guidance of his father, there is hope to become atletico's next godhead.
It is reported that Simeone Jr. was loaned to Verona by Cagliari last season, there is a 12 million euro buyout clause, this summer Verona will activate this clause and cash out to enrich the club's funds, it is expected that Simeone Jr. will sell for between 25 million and 30 million euros.
