La Liga
Matías Soulé, current player for Roma, has recently revealed that Atlético de Madrid was interested in signing him when he was still playing in the youth ranks of Vélez Sarsfield. At 22 years old, the Argentine is establishing himself in Serie A and has confessed in an interview with Il Romanista that the Colchoneros were one of the clubs that explored his move to Europe. However, his response was clear: he preferred to go to Italy without giving it too much thought.
Didn't Answer Atlético de Madrid's Call
"I had offers from several European teams, including Juventus, Monaco, and Atlético de Madrid, but as soon as the opportunity to go to Italy appeared, I didn't hesitate," declared the forward, who can play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder.
Soulé was signed by Juventus in the 2019/2020 season and last summer he moved to Roma after being transferred for a sum close to 25 million euros. In the Italian capital, he has already begun to make his mark, as shown in the recent derby against Lazio, where he scored the equalizer and experienced one of the most exciting nights of his career. After that match, he also revealed the words of Claudio Ranieri upon arriving at the Roma bench: "He told me to play it easy, that things would gradually improve for me."
