Atlético Madrid are hoping to get €30 million for José María Giménez in the next transfer market, according to Todofichajes.
The 29-year-old Uruguayan defender has been a key player for the Colchoneros since joining the club from Danubio in 2013. He has made 283 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals.
Giménez is not an undisputed starter for Atlético, as he has been hampered by injuries in recent seasons. However, he is still highly rated by clubs in the Premier League.
Atlético are looking to rebuild their defense this summer. They have already signed Reinildo Mandava from Benfica and are expected to sign Nahuel Molina from Udinese. They are also interested in signing Pau Torres from Villarreal.
Giménez could be sold to make room for new signings
Giménez could be sold to make room for new signings. He has a release clause of €120 million, but Atlético are willing to accept a lower offer.
Chelsea, West Ham, and Manchester United are all interested in signing Giménez. Chelsea are looking for a new center-back after Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen left the club on free transfers. West Ham are looking to improve their defense after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season. Manchester United are looking to sign a new center-back after Raphael Varane suffered a season-ending injury.
It remains to be seen where Giménez will end up next season. However, it is clear that he is a talented player who is in high demand.
