Diego Forlan on his way out of Atletico Madrid?

 Atletico de Madrid never seem to find an end to their unrest. The manager is, as usual, being questioned (it happens almost regardless of who he is) and the poor finances of the club seem to dominate most decisions. Indeed, a club that sells one of their best players mid season only goes to prove that business is being placed before football. That may not be a bad thing – but is very unusual for Spain!

Diego Forlan is also under the spotlight, both Atletico Madrid and Diego Forlan himself have declared that if a decent offer comes in, he will go.

Rumoured interest in having Diego Forlan has come from Milan, Wolfsburg and ultimately, White Hart Lane and Tottenham Hotspur. Certainly, it would seem that Harry Rednapp has always been a fan of Diego and Spur’s very successful run in the Champion’s League, and the fact Diego would be able to play in the next rounds, must be very tempting for Harry. Add to that, that, Spurs has just off-loaded Robbie Keane to Birmingham City and that may be just enough to persuade Wise Harry to dig deep into his budget.
