It is nothing new for Theo’s saga to be mad. In fact, it is rather common for it to be a little bit unhinged. Nevertheless, the past 24 hours have been crazy, even compared to the past year of contract discussions.
Not done yet
Last night, it was reported that Atletico Madrid had increased their bid to around €20 million, from their initial point of €15m. Certainly closer to what Milan are seeking, but not a done deal, definitely. However, talks stopped in the night, with reports suggesting that a deal was off this morning.
This, obviously, is not ideal for Theo, considering it is a World Cup year and there is a threat of no gametime this season. So, his entourage is desperately trying to get the two parties back to the table.
According to Milan News, Manuel Garcia Quilon is leading the defender’s entourage in discussions with Atleti, seeking to ‘mend the rift’ and ‘revive’ the talks between the two clubs. For now, though, it is entirely dependent on the wishes of the Spanish giants.
In other words, the Rossoneri’s position of weakness has somehow gotten worse.
