Three days ago, we covered claims made in Spain that Chelsea ‘could try again’ to sign José Giménez if his asking price drops below €80m.
Manchester City have joined the Blues in showing interest in the Atlético Madrid centre-back.
That’s according to Marca, who say the defender has been ‘receiving calls’ from the Citizens and other top Premier League sides.
Despite the calls from Pep Guardiola’s side and other English clubs, the 26-year-old wants to continue with Los Rojiblancos.
The Uruguay international first came to Europe when the La Liga side signed him from Danubio in 2013.
Having progressed and developed over the years at Atlético, he has no plans to ‘abandon’ them now. The defender is happy with his life on and off the pitch in Madrid and is now one of the key players under Diego Simeone.
The South American also feels valued and loved at Wanda Metropolitano, which is why a move away from Atlético is not on the cards, even though he is ‘desired’ by the likes of City and other clubs.
Manchester City invested in signing Rúben Dias last summer and Guardiola has the centre-back position covered for this season.
