Moldovan: Continuity assured in Sassuolo?
Atlético de Madrid is closely monitoring the future of Horatiu Moldovan, the Romanian goalkeeper on loan to Italian side Sassuolo. After his arrival in the winter market of the 23/24 season to cover the departure of Ivo Grbic, Moldovan was looking for minutes that he could not find in the shadow of Jan Oblak.
At Sassuolo, the goalkeeper has found the opportunity he longed for, becoming an important player for the team. His good performance has been key for the team to secure its return to Serie A, which has led the club to plan the future with him.
The Romanian has played 27 games, accumulating 2,430 minutes, conceding 27 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 11 occasions. Thanks to his outstanding performances, Moldovan has been recalled by his country’s national team.
According to reports from the Gazzetta dello Sport, Sassuolo would be willing to exercise the purchase option for the goalkeeper, valued at 800,000 euros, in addition to the 500,000 euros already paid for the loan.
If the operation is completed, Atlético de Madrid would receive around 1.3 million euros. This possible sale would represent extra income for the coffers of the Colchonero club and would allow Sassuolo to continue having a goalkeeper who has proven his worth in goal.
