Mario Hermoso, the 29-year-old Spanish defender, has turned down an offer from Bologna, making his move to Serie A increasingly unlikely despite previous interest from clubs like Milan, Inter, and Napoli. Hermoso, who became a free agent after his contract with Atletico Madrid ended on June 30, had been considered an appealing option for several Italian teams.
Bologna's offer was the most recent, but the club failed to convince Hermoso to join their project, despite their Champions League qualification. According to Sky Sport Italia, the player decided to wait for better offers, suggesting that his future might not be in Italy. This decision opens the door for Hermoso to explore other leagues, with growing interest from teams outside Europe.
With Serie A seemingly out of the picture, the chances of Hermoso ending up in the Saudi Professional League increase. The league has been attracting several European players with significantly high salary offers, and Hermoso could be the next to join this trend if he doesn't find an offer that meets his expectations in Europe. His salary demands and required commission have been obstacles for several suitors in traditional leagues.
Premier League Shows Interest in Mario Hermoso
In the Premier League, Aston Villa has shown interest in the defender, adding another option to his list of potential destinations. Hermoso, known for his versatility and defensive ability, would be a valuable addition to any team looking to strengthen their backline. His experience in La Liga and European competitions makes him an ideal candidate for teams seeking defensive solidity and leadership.
Hermoso's wait for a suitable offer demonstrates his determination to find the best step in his career. His departure from Atletico Madrid after five years marks the end of a significant chapter, and his next move will be crucial in maintaining his career progression. The coming days will be decisive in defining the future of Mario Hermoso, who remains a sought-after piece in the transfer market.
