‘There are Osvaldo-Atleti talks’

A FIFA-accredited agent has claimed that Atletico Madrid are in negotiations for Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and dismissed links between Roma and Koke.

Since a fall-out with the team’s interim Coach at the end of the Italian season, Osvaldo has been heavily speculated as on his way out of Roma.

A return to Spain for the former Espanyol man is seen as a possibility and for one FIFA agent, very much on the agenda.

“There is a negotiation taking place,” Diego Tavano revealed to Radio Mana Mana Sport today.

“It will be worth around €18m.

“The attacker is well liked in Spain and he just needs to find the right emotional balance because he has incredible qualities.”

There are rumours that Roma similarly talking to Atletico with regards a €12m move for Koke.

“Now he has an important market value. He has a future in Spain and perhaps with a team even more important.

“I do not think that Koke is in the plans of Roma, who at this time will more easily look to players of French nationality than others.”
