Reasons for Diego Forlan to move away from Atletico Madrid to Inter Milan – La Liga Debate
Diego Forlan has been adventurous throughout his illustrious career. After playing in Argentina and England, he finally settled in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001
Calderon.
Turkish giants Galatasaray were linked with the powerful striker in the first half of the transfer window. Atletico Madrid were willing to listen to any offers, but the player was adamant on staying and gave a strong indication to the Turks about the outcome
of the negotiations before hand. Forlan was able to withstand the opening advances as he stated his ambition to stay with his club of four years.
As the Turkish team looked at other prospects, English club Tottenham Hotspur returned for his signature. The North London club have been keeping tabs on the prolific striker and asked for his availability. It was likely that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 would not like to
move to the cold country after having a disastrous spell with Manchester United from 2001 to 2004. As the links with Champions League hopefuls died down, it looked like Atletico will have to make do with the 32-year-old.
However, the capital-based club are going to face the butterfly effect of events going on in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala have tabled a generous bid for Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o, and the Italians want to replace him with the former Independiente
man. This will be an interesting opportunity for him and he will be accessing the situation very carefully.
Forlan has been sensational where ever he has gone. In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, he was lacklustre but young still for the English game, but his move to Spain established him as one of the best strikers in
the modern game. With the experience of playing in the top two leagues under his belt, he would surely be thinking of giving Serie A a try.
Apart from the excuse of experiencing the Italian league, a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan will be beneficial for the talisman. He will be able to negotiate a bigger salary with Inter, who are renowned big spenders as compared to Atletico Madrid, the forever thrifty.
A last solid pay cheque will be an enticing option for the ageing player.
Keeping these reasons aside, Forlan knows at the back of his mind that he does not have a future in the Spanish capital. The club hierarchy is unhappy with his antics from last year. He failed to perform and worst still, disrupted the campaign of others
if rumours are to be paid any heed, which resulted in a disappointing seventh place finish in La Liga. With favoured coach Quique Sanchez Flores resigning after their feuds, Los Rojiblancos would be keen to show Forlan the exit door too.
With Inter Milan, he has the option to move away from the club with his reputation intact. New manager Gregorio Manzano is known for his no nonsense approach and showed the exit door to Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabiano-c13129 at Sevilla. It is better for Forlan to leave now then to
be booted out and an opportunity like Inter will not come again, with Samuel Eto’o moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991.
After a glittering career in the Spanish capital, Forlan’s time has come to an end. Los Rojiblancos fans would cherish him forever in their memories if he leaves in friendly circumstances; acrimonious conditions lie on the horizon.
