Simeone and Ancelotti behind the new 'Ratón Ayala': Baraja already knows and sets a price for him

The red-and-whites are aware that Real Madrid could try to take one of their summer targets away from them

Atlético de Madrid are clear that there are players that cannot be missed, and they saw one of them a few days ago. He is one of the most dominant centre-backs that Valencia has and the one that many LaLiga teams are already thinking about. One of them is Real Madrid , who would be the toughest competition that Atlético must overcome to get Yarek Gasiorowski .

The Spanish-Polish centre-back has a contract with Valencia until 2025, but the "Che" have an option for the club to extend that contract for two more years . There are talks between the agent and Valencia to try to renew it before then, although there are some really powerful teams trying to take him. The best example is Real Madrid , who want to get ahead of Atlético de Madrid , who have been following his developments for months.

He is seen as a top centre-back, similar to Leny Yoro . Although Yarek has less experience, he has been compared to Ratón Ayala . People like his height, almost 1.92 m, his corpulence, his ability to position himself and his intelligence to read the ball cuts. These and other great virtues that he has have made his value grow and that today he is only below Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi among the young Spaniards.

Atlético gave Lim a title

The club from Madrid and the white club see this 45 million euro clause as negotiable, it is the figure that Valencia is asking for. Despite some recent friction over cases such as that of Javi Guerraor even that of Germán Valera . This happens between Valencia and some Atlético directors, but where the cod is divided there is still an excellent relationship; they have even already spoken with Baraja about the matter.

We are referring to Peter Lim and Miguel Ángel Gil Marín , who have an exceptional relationship both in business and on a personal level. In fact, the latter has brought offers from some of his partners to the Singaporean magnate. He was able to buy the red-and-white club in 2013, in fact, the colchoneros offered him, in his country, the Copa del Rey won against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu against Jose Mourinho .

Baraja is counting on him

Valencia thinks that the player will be important for Rubén Baraja , although for the man from Valladolid he is not indisputable. The presence of Cristhian Mosquera and César Tárrega has taken away minutes from him, and it is clear that, although it is a great project, they do not want to take risks with him. The contractual aspect influences, although they understand that the boy's great desire is to succeed at Valencia and that he does not think about leaving the team.

His agents will have the final say, as not only Real Madrid and Atlético are keeping a close eye on him. Several teams from England and Italy have had their eye on him and have sent scouts to see him in action. Peter Lim will decide in the end, but the Yarek case is open and the Madrid team is stalking him.
