FROM LIGUE 1 TO LA LIGA: VALBUENA SOON FROM OM TO ATLETICO MADRID?
Mathieu Valbuena is currently a target for Atletico Madrid led by Diego Simeone. The Olympique de Marseille midfielder has openly expressed his desire to experience playing abroad. Speaking on BFM TV after the OM-Bordeaux match on Sunday, Valbuena confirmed his aspiration to have a successful second half of the season with his current club and a great performance in the World Cup. He emphasized that after eight years with OM, he has never hidden his interest in trying his luck in another league.
While last week’s reports from Le 10Sport mentioned Atletico Madrid’s interest in Valbuena, stating that discussions were already in progress, it was noted that the Spanish club aims to finalize the deal during the winter transfer window. The question remains whether Mathieu Valbuena will take the risk of changing clubs in the middle of the season, especially in a World Cup year.
