One thing is sure for the upcoming summer transfer window – a lot of teams will try to make big transfers. Liverpool is one of those clubs, as they have an aspiration to perform a lot better than they have this season. In order to achieve that, they will have to sign a lot of big names. One of their targets is the Atletico Madrid striker, Mario Mandzukic. The rumors of this deal are quite fresh and because of that it is really hard to tell whether they are realistic or not.
The recent reports that have come from Atletico Madrid state that the Croatian striker “has apparently fallen out with boss Diego Simeone in recent weeks, and a transfer away is now on the cards, with Liverpool keen,”
However, it’s a bit hard to believe these speculations. Mandzukic has been very important for Atletico Madrid all season long, and I don’t think that Diego Simeone will let him leave easily. The Croatian has scored twelve goals and dished out five assists in 24 La Liga appearances, which is pretty impressive. Furthermore, he is a player that isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes for his team to win, which is a quality that Diego Simeone definitely loves.
Liverpool is in great need of a quality striker, as it has lacked the finishing touch all season long. Mario Balotelli and Ricky Lambert have been terrible during this campaign, even though they have received a lot of chances.
Nevertheless, even if the Reds are ready to pay a big amount of money to sign Mandzukic, I don’t think that Atletico will let him go. It was hard enough for them to find a replacement for Diego Costa, and I doubt that they want to search for a new striker once again. Sorry Liverpool fans, but the chances of Mario Mandzukic playing at Anfield are pretty slim.
