Atletico Madrid have got themselves into a bit of a pickle.
They’re signing Alvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea but their wage bill just can’t handle the extra pressure, so one, and probably two, players need to leave the club and do so quickly.
The men identified are Gelson Martins and Nikola Kalinic.
On January 21st it was reported by Marca that several clubs are interested in the Croatian, ‘concretely Tottenham’.
In their Wednesday edition, Marca back up interest from Spurs, adding that Monaco, in need of anything they can get right now, and several Serie A clubs would also be keen.
Atletico want a quick exit, with Wednesday’s AS saying they’re looking for deals before the weekend,. That presents an almost desperation.
And who is perfect to twist a club inside out in such a situation? Daniel Levy of course, it’s a perfect situation for the Tottenham tough man.
Should Mauricion Pochettino want Kalinic as much as the Spanish media would suggest, then this is surely a possibility.
