With the Verona talisman managing to maintain a fine run of form so far throughout this year’s campaign, Giovanni Simeone’s brilliant displays on the pitch have attracted the interest of numerous European Giants.
Since arriving on loan from Cagliari at the beginning of this year’s current campaign, El Cholito has been in sizzling hot form as the Argentinian marksman has scored 15 goals and provided three assists in 24 games played for the Gialloblu within the Serie A.
With the 26 year-old striker set to return back to the Rossoblu at the end of this year’s season, several prestigious clubs are prepared to submit a fee of €20M in order to acquire the South American forward, according to Transfermakt.
As it stands, both Newcastle and Atletico Madrid have enjoyed the race to obtain the young Argentine’s signature. With the Magpies currently short in strikers, the club officials view Simeone as a vital asset that can bring long-term success for the club. In addition, the La Liga giants acknowledge El Cholito as the perfect successor for their star forward Luis Suarez.
With plenty of rumours looming regarding Simone’s future, only time will determine how his current situation will unravel.
