Atletico midfielder Nicholas Gaitan is getting closer to the exit of Wanda Metropolyano. According to Marca, the Argentine national has in fact negotiated with Zenith and will be renting to the Russian Grand Prix. After season`s end, piters will have the option to buy the 29-year-old technician. Zenit has already made a specific proposal that suits Atletico. The St. Petersburg team`s offer is more advantageous than the other candidates for Gaitan`s signature. Samito also agrees to move to Roberto Mancini`s team, where he plays five of his compatriots - Emmanuel Mamana, Leandro Paredes, Emiliano Rigoni, Sebastian Duries and Matthias Kranevillier. The latter came from Atletico in the summer. `If we leave, the club will react and take another player to this post, ` Diego Simeone commented at a press conference today.


The goal of the Madrid people is to get between EUR 17 and 20 million for Gaitan. In 2016, the club from onlinesocceradvisor paid Benfica for him 25 million, but the Argentine did not fit into the squad and Simeone is less reliant on him. Swannie and Boca Juniors are also interested in the experienced midfielder, but to date he is most likely to continue his career at Zenith.
