The Mexican flyer Hector Herrera could be transferred to the Rome at next winter market of European football.
No continuity at Atlético Madrid, where he has barely played 301 minutes this season, the midfielder of the Mexican national team welcomes changing teams six months before the end of his contract with the Colchonero.
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Roma is interested in adding Héctor Herrera to its ranks. The Mexican midfielder would have been an express request of the Portuguese coach José Mourinho.
Herrera’s contract with Atlético de Madrid ends on June 30, 2021 and his wish is to leave the Spanish team in a free condition. The leaders of the Spanish club would agree to negotiate it in January with the aim of charging some money for their pass.
Herrera, 31, needs to add minutes of play heading into a year that could be decisive for his career. If Mexico manages to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the “Tri” midfielder could play his last World Cup in November next year.
In the preview of the match with Sevilla, the Atlético de Madrid coach, Diego Simeone, I consider that Herrera deserves more minutes on the field of play.
“I have no doubt that, in the way that he trains, that he accompanies and that he respects his teammates, Herrera should have more minutes. The coach, at the moment, chooses other teammates, but as a merit I have no doubt that he deserved more minutes, “said Cholo, consulted about the situation of the Mexican soccer player.
Herrera is not the only Colchonero footballer that Mourinho would have had his eyes on. The Another candidate to emigrate to Serie A is 26-year-old Argentine Ángel Correa. However, the Spanish club’s board would have no interest in negotiating the Albiceleste striker.
