Reinildo's future at Atlético Madrid has caused great interest, and Relevo's journalist Matteo Moretto has revealed that the red-white club is already negotiating his renewal. The Mozambican player's contract expires on June 30, and Atlético do not want to risk losing him for free.
Key for Simeone
Reinildo has been a key piece in defense since his arrival, and his performance has raised the awareness t of several clubs, especially in Italy. The "fangirls" that have emerged in Serie A force Atlético to move quickly to ensure the player's continuity.
Moretto also pointed out that talks between the club and the player's personal managers have only just begun, so there is no imminent agreement. The club is confident of keeping Reinildo in its squad, but offers from abroad could difficult negotiations.
Reinildo's renewal is a priority for Atlético, who see him as a very versatile defender who can contribute in many ways. The club is looking to protect its investment, preventing the player from leaving for free next summer. In this sense, talks with his agent are key to ensuring his continuity in Madrid.
Renewal is Necessary
Reinildo has been vital to Atlético de Madrid's defensive solidity, and his versatility has allowed him to adapt to different positions in the back line. Since his arrival at the club, he has earned Simeone's trust, which has made the team want to secure his future as soon as possible.
Although there is interest from Italy, Reinildo has also shown his commitment to Atlético, which could make negotiations easier for the renewal of his contract. The Madrid club is confident that negotiations will come to fruition and that the player will continue to be an important piece in their defensive scheme for the coming years.
It seems that the Mozambican player is recovering his best shape, something that Simeone has been waiting for since last season. After his serious knee injury, Reinildo had not returned to a level close to what he was before the injury. However, this year he has already played several great games, such as last Thursday's Champions League game against Leipzig.
