Atlético go all out for Rodrigo Mendoza | OneFootball

The final hours of the transfer market for Atlético de Madrid are being frantic. With just over six hours left before the option to sign any player closes, another name is now being mentioned for the team's midfield under Simeone. The latest reports suggest that Atlético de Madrid is going after Rodrigo Mendoza. The young midfielder, an under-21 international, would be the new target for the red and whites. Everything is in an initial stage, for now, and it remains to be seen how it will unfold in the coming hours.

BREAKING NEWS ON THE TRANSFER MARKET

According to Marca, Elche would invoke the release clause of Rodrigo Mendoza, which means Atlético would have to pay 20 million euros. A figure that the team is not willing to disburse, but they are in need of midfield players. However, given the necessity and that Mendoza is one of the Spanish players with the greatest potential, the effort might be well regarded at the Metropolitano offices.

Elche is not willing to lower their demands

According to reports from the city of Elche, Elche has rejected Atlético's first offer. Cristian Egea reports that in the last few minutes, the franjiverde team has rejected an initial offer from Atlético de Madrid for Rodrigo Mendoza, of about 12 million plus bonuses. Cristina Egea points out that the Elche club has made it clear that the amounts offered are too low for the player's departure.
