Atletico Madrid try Lucas Da Cunha, but renewal with Como is on the way
Atletico Madrid is keeping an eye on Lucas Da Cunha, but Como has already gone ahead and is expected to announce the renewal of the player, who will become team captain until 2031.
Atletico Madrid is keeping an eye on Lucas Da Cunha. In recent days, the colchonero club has expressed strong interest in the player, seeking to breathe new life into its midfield and guarantee more dynamism to the team, with a comprehensive view of what is happening on the field. With ball recovery skills, the Como captain would fit perfectly into Diego Simeone's needs, especially after the departure of Ederson, who is on his way to Manchester United. Furthermore, the financial proposal to bring in Da Cunha is much more attractive compared to the expensive options that the club has in its sights.
However, Atletico Madrid faces an obstacle, as Como had already been negotiating for weeks to guarantee the player's renewal, which should extend until 2031. The announcement should take place in the coming days, just as happened with Butez. Cesc Fabregas, Como's coach, does not want to lose one of his main players in midfield and, therefore, the club remained firm, refusing offers for Da Cunha, who is still on vacation.
In addition to Atletico, Atalanta was also interested in Da Cunha as a replacement for Ederson, but Como's desire to keep the player in the team never changed, even in the face of significant offers. Olympique de Marseille, for example, saw its 20 million euro proposal rejected. Fabregas cannot afford to lose one of his best revelations, especially with the Champions League approaching.
