Gil Marín ends rumors: Atleti looks the other way
Atlético de Madrid’s CEO, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, has strongly denied the club’s interest in Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez.

Gil Marín also addressed rumors about other possible signings for the forward position, such as Gyokeres and Vlahovic, indicating that the club’s priority is to reinforce other areas of the team.
“While we are not looking for a striker, we are focused on reinforcing other positions of the team,” said the CEO. In addition, Gil Marín highlighted the good moment that Atlético de Madrid is going through, highlighting the illusion generated by the team’s game, its competitiveness, humility and efficiency.
“It couldn’t be more exciting, it’s a pleasure to see the team play, how it competes, with what humility, solidarity, efficiency. I am sure that all our fans are proud to see their team compete,” he commented. However, he emphasized the importance of staying focused and focusing on the next game. Finally, he acknowledged Cholo Simeone’s work at the head of the team, highlighting his ability to reinvent himself and maintain the motivation of the players, as well as his passion and enthusiasm intact.
