Even though Julio Diaz has already been ‘placed’ in several clubs (first was the Elchethen the Levant and now the Seville), the left back continues to train as one more under Simeone’s orders. Not so much because he is going to remain in the squad, but because Atlético is in no hurry to accelerate his departure. Basically, because in view of the large market it has in First Division, its final destination will end up being the one that best suits the rojiblanco interests.
It is true that the promising defender has reached an agreement with Sevilla for the next four seasonsbut it is also not a guarantee that it will end up crystallizing. Above all, taking into account that a week ago it was Levante that had already obtained its approval, jumping through the air as soon as Julio learned of the interest from Nervión.
So now he appears as the best positioned to cover the left back in the event that Bear I ended up heading to the Olympiacos. A chain movement, in any case, that does not at all worry Atlético, aware that the footballer to whom El Cholo came to give four starts last year (he played 311 minutes apart from being one of the mainstays of the reserve team) has a list of suitors so as not to rush their exit.
Simeone’s praise for Julio Díaz
A 50% sale
In this sense, with Atlético planning a transfer of 50% of their rights to make cash and at the same time not lose property (in addition to overcoming the limitation on the number of loaned players allowed) of a Julio in which a more than interesting progression is sensed, not only Sevilla has knocked on his door, but a good part of the teams from the middle of the table downwards (in the same way as the ‘roosters’ of Second) have also shown interest. Hence, in no hurry to opt for the highest bidder, the red and white club continues conversations with each other while the full-back exercises as one of them.
