Tottenham face competition from Manchester United and Manchester City for Atletico Madrid forward Giuliano Simeone, who has attracted growing Premier League interest.
The 23-year-old Argentine has impressed in Spain, while his recent international performances have further enhanced his reputation. Atletico, however, are understood to be reluctant to consider his departure.
Tottenham face Premier League competition for Simeone
Tottenham have explored a potential deal for Simeone in recent months, with manager Roberto De Zerbi reportedly viewing the forward as a strong fit for his tactical approach.
Simeone’s energy and versatility would offer Spurs another option in attack. His ability to contribute in several attacking roles is understood to be among the qualities that have attracted interest from north London.
Manchester United and Manchester City also made enquiries about the player’s availability during the summer transfer window. Both clubs would have the financial means to compete for his signature, although Atletico’s position could make negotiations difficult.
Simeone has established himself as an important member of Diego Simeone’s squad and remains in Madrid playing under his father. Their close relationship could represent a further obstacle for any Premier League club attempting to secure his services.
Questions over the forward’s role have prompted Diego Simeone to defend his son publicly, pointing to his work rate and contribution to the team.
A move to England would present Giuliano Simeone with a fresh challenge, but there is little indication that he is currently seeking an exit. Tottenham, Manchester United and Manchester City must therefore determine whether Atletico would be prepared to negotiate and whether the player becomes open to a Premier League move.
