Inter Milan wants to take the favourite of Atletico Madrid: Simeone KO

The Italians have set their sights on the player who has stood out the most after coming up from the youth system

Atlético de Madrid have started the 2024/25 season with two failures in LaLiga that have left a bad taste in their mouths. However, the fans have high hopes for this season, where Simeone will have a great, reinforced team at his disposal. In the last few hours we have learned that Inter Milan are willing to go all out for Atlético de Madrid's most promising player: Pablo Barrios.

Two setbacks in La Liga, which raise doubts...

The new season began on August 19 with a match that is always very difficult for Simeone 's men. La Cerámica is a difficult ground, and Villarreal is a tough team that normally pushes rival teams to the limit, but Simeone trusted Pablo Barrios for the match. The match ended (2-2), and Atlético de Madrid failed in the first round of LaLiga , which left the fans somewhat cold.

The home opener left an unbeatable feeling, with a (3-0) victory against Girona , a team that finished ahead of the rojiblancos last season 2023/24. On the contrary, in the third matchday of LaLiga they again encountered a stumble, (0-0) against Espanyol at home. Finally, a victory in stoppage time at San Mamés , against Athletic Bilbao , left Simeone 's men more relaxed.

After visiting two of the most difficult stadiums in the first four LaLiga games, Atlético de Madrid is in third place. Eight points that allow them to draw with Real Madrid , and to be four points behind an FC Barcelona that has started on a full slate. In these first LaLiga games, Pablo Barrios has been one of the best players for Atlético de Madrid , and is attracting the attention of big European clubs.

Pablo Barrios has started three of Atlético Madrid's four LaLiga games. The promising youngster has shown a very high level, and Simeone will probably count on him a lot during the season . Despite the confidence conveyed by Simeone , Inter Milan want to bid strongly for Pablo Barrios , and we will have to keep an eye on his future.

Inter Milan are interested in Pablo Barrios

Following his great performances at the Olympic Games and in the first La Liga matches, we have learned that Inter Milan are very interested in Pablo Barrios . The Spanish midfielder is putting in some great performances, which are being valued by everyone. However, in the last few hours we have learned that the player has suffered an injury that will keep him off the pitch for the next few weeks .

According to Transfermarket , Pablo Barrios ' value is €25 million, although the last update was in December 2023. If all goes according to plan, his price should rise considerably in the coming weeks after being a protagonist both at the Olympic Games and in La Liga . Simeone does not want to part with one of his greatest talents, so Atlético de Madrid will ask for the payment of his clause if he leaves for Italy.

Atlético de Madrid already knows that Inter Milan want to buy Pablo Barrios. Simeone and the club will not make his departure easy, and Pablo Barrios is happy at Atlético de Madrid. We will see in the next few days if Atlético de Madrid, Simeone and Pablo Barrios want to part ways.
