Atlético de Madrid are looking for another midfielder before the transfer window closes. There is currently a day and a half left. They want to make the most of that day and a half and the phones are buzzing in the offices of Civitas Metropolitano. Several names have been mentioned in the last few hours, and the press always brings up some curious option.
The latest comes from France . It is given by Fabrice Hawkins , a journalist from RMC Sports of the neighbouring country, where they speak of another name: Danilo Pereira , the 32-year-old Portuguese midfielder who plays for Paris Saint-Germain . Represented by Jorge Mendes , his arrival at the red-and-white club cannot be ruled out; he was also offered to FC Barcelona .
Jorge Mendes is looking for him to leave Paris , as he has not played for years and, for Luis EnriqueMartínez , he is not the first option. The Spaniard has had little reliance on one of the leaders of the Portuguese national team and of Porto , a player with a very defensive profile. Recovering, strong and able to arrive at the opposing area, those are the greatest virtues that Danilo Pereira has.
His beginnings were in Italy
Born in Bissau but trained in Italy , he first played professional football in Serie A and Parma . He trained as a footballer at Ennio Tardini , and after playing for Primavera he was loaned to Aris Salonika . He played very few games in Greece and returned to the Italian city, only to leave again a year later for Dutch side Roda Kerkrade .
From Holland he landed in Portugal , beginning his adventure in Portuguese football with Marítimo de Funchal. Two seasons later, FC Porto acquired his services and made him one of the most important pieces of the team. At Do Dragão he played 202 games, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists, until he left for Paris .
I signed for PSG
He has been playing in Paris since the 20/21 season, wearing the shirt of the capital team of France, he played 157 games, scoring 10 goals and 3 assists for the Paris team. Together with Kylian Mbappé as a teammate, he has won 3 French leagues and 2 French cups. Before arriving in Paris , he won 2 Portuguese leagues with FC Porto and another Taça de Portugal.
He also won the Euro 2016 final against France in Paris with his national team, and the Nations League against the Netherlands in 2019. He is a successful player, with a long career and financially accessible. He has a contract until 2025 and his market value is 8 million.
For Atlético de Madrid , he is one of the options being considered to reinforce the midfield. Jorge Mendes , in the middle, is trying to find a place for him. With Diego Simeone , he has a very high chance.
