Captain Atalanta negotiated with Diego Simeone.

Attacker Atalanta Alejandro Gomez said that in 2012 he could move to Atletico. The transfer broke and the football player was forced to go to the Kharkov Metalist.

"In 2012, before leaving for Ukraine, I had dinner with Simeone in Buenos Aires, but Catania asked for too much for me. I really wanted to go to Atletico, but nothing was up to me. I was disappointed, because it could be a quality push for the development of my career, "- quotes Gomez Tuttosport.

Recall, in the summer of 2017 Alejandro Gomez extended his contract with Atalanta. The ex-Metalist player signed the agreement, calculated up to the middle of 2022.

Earlier it was reported that under the terms of the new contract 29-year-old football player will be the highest paid player in the club.
