Diego Simeone reveals insane amount of money he was offered last summer

Simeone offer

Diego Simeone has promised to stay at Atletico Madrid for at least one more season. His feats at the Calderon have been incredible. He’s won everything at the club bar the Champions League, making the final twice.

His future plans are relatively mysterious. We know that he’d like to coach Inter Milan one day but other than that it’s hard to see where Simeone will end up. But it’s likely that he’ll get a big pay rise when he does move.

We don’t imagine that he’s earning buttons with Atleti. However, he’s not earning 35 million euros.

That’s the amount he was offered last summer, he revealed to AS.

Whether he means annually or over the course of a five-year contract, he’s not earning close to that now.

We also know that there’s one club that he definitely won’t be joining.

AS interview extract

However, after the Champions League final in Milan, you claimed that you wanted to reflect on your future with the club. Was that a spontaneous comment or something premeditated?

As I proceeded to the press room post game, I had to pass by the area where the Madrid squad were celebrating and I felt, and still feel pain. It suddenly dawned on me that a difficult year lay ahead and it would be complicated to be totally committed to the guys…

But you managed to overcome that situation?

No, I didn’t overcome it, I stated how I felt at the time and I wanted space to reflect. Is that wrong? If I’d wanted to move to another club, then I had 35 million reasons to go, 35 million reasons! But in the end, I didn’t go because I didn’t want to and I still don’t want to. I still feel a strong sense of identity with the club and in what I do here on a day to day basis and have a massive attachment to the squad and feel that we are still ‘raw recruits’.
