Tevez would fit in well at Atletico - Simeone
JUVENTUS striker Carlos Tevez would be a perfect fit for Atletico Madrid and the La Liga club are in talks with the Argentine’s agents, coach Diego Simeone said.
Tevez helped Juve to another Serie A title and the Champions League final this season and Atletico are on the alert with speculation in Italy and Spain that he is looking to leave.
“I know the club is speaking with his agent,” Simeone told Spanish newspaper As on Wednesday.
“It is always good to have a player like Tevez. He is hotblooded, which is a healthy part of this sport, and that is aside from how many goals he is able to score in a season.
“He would be a perfect signing considering the football that Atletico Madrid play.”
Atletico are looking to boost their forward line and Tevez would fit into their determined style based on hard work.
They lost Diego Costa to Chelsea last year and while Antoine Griezmann has come in and done well, Atletico were hoping for more from Croatian Mario Mandzukic.
“He (Mandzukic) is a good player and a good guy,” said Simeone.
“He himself was unhappy at the way he was unable to continue performing how he had done up to February. I said to him, ‘we have to beat the record that you had at Bayern of 28 goals,’ but he was unable unfortunately.”
