Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona are battling to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, Spanish digital newspaper OKDiario has claimed.
The 21-year-old who scored a superb goal in this week’s 1-0 victory against Bayern Munich is one of the most sought-after young talents in Spain.
Despite starting the season as a regular substitute, he has become an essential player for Diego Simeone and has proved that he has a bright future ahead.
According to these reports, Niguez would cost around 45 million euros, and several clubs would be ready to pay it, including United, Real and Barcelona.
The player reportedly wants to get a salary raise and start earning five million euros per season, but Atletico cannot afford such a high wage. Thus, Saul could be open to leave his life club, and the three European giants are the main candidates to land him.
The fact that the player’s agent is Jorge Mendes could benefit Real Madrid and Manchester United, who have a good relationship with him.
Saul has made 44 appearances for Atletico Madrid this season, scoring nine goals.
