The friendly match played in Benghazi last Friday between Inter and Atletico Madrid was also an opportunity for several Inter fans to reunite with a great former player like Cholo Simeone. The Argentine coach, who left a great impression as a player in Milan, has always remained very attached to the Nerazzurri colors with the promise of one day returning as a coach.
In recent years, however, the parties have never really been that close due to his very strong bond with the colchoneros bench. In the future, though, it is likely that Inter and Simeone could really reunite and fulfill a dream shared by many Nerazzurri fans. In the meantime, last summer the coach, together with the Atletico Madrid management, knocked on Inter’s door for market-related reasons.
As is well known, the Spaniards had shown a lot of interest in the name of Carlos Augusto for the left flank. Today, revisiting this failed negotiation, Calciomercato.com revealed some new details. Inter, in addition to rejecting the official offer presented by Atletico Madrid, also declared the Brazilian non-transferable.
An almost surprising response, considering that Carlos Augusto is not among the regular starters for this Inter. At the same time, however, it must be said that for the Nerazzurri, the former Monza player represents an extremely important resource in the squad, both for his ability to play multiple roles and for his consistently positive performances on the field.
