Diego Godin has announced that he will be leaving Cagliari in the winter transfer window. The player has had to face several problems in the Serie A club, and will be moving on. With less than ten days remaining for the January transfer window to open, he will be able to talk to other clubs soon.
There have been rumours linking the Uruguayan international back to his former club, Atletico Madrid. The Rojiblancos are having a difficult campaign defending their title, and are failing to recreate their defensive performances from last season.
The presence of a veteran like Godin could be beneficial to Diego Simeone at this point in the season. The player would also not allow money to be an issue, and is willing to take a salary cut to facilitate a return to Madrid.
Diego Godin’s remarkable spell with Atletico Madrid
Diego Godin spent nine years with Atletico Madrid from 2010 to 2019, and then joined Inter Milan. In his nine years with the Rojiblancos, he made 389 appearances across all competitions.
He was a leader at the back for Diego Simeone, and would provide the same quality even if he isn’t the first choice. The 35-year-old faces stiff competition from other defenders in the lineup, but can help the team with his leadership qualities.
Godin’s current deal with Cagliari runs out in June 2023, but it seems like it will be terminated after only 11 Serie A appearances for them this season.
