CThus, 24 hours after Atalanta officially renounced the signing of Marc Pubill, MARCA has had access to the whole truth about the failed transfer. In chronological order of events, the Catalan full-back flew to Milan on Saturday from Madrid after finishing the Olympic Games with a gold in his pocket and From there he moved to Bergamo, where emissaries from the ‘nerazzurri’ team were waiting for him. In fact, the Italian press published photos of the player with a pair of trousers and a bag from the Italian club. The first medical tests were scheduled for Sunday, but before that, strange things began to emerge. made Pubill’s entourage suspicious.
In the early hours of Saturday to Sunday, that is, before the medical examination, the sports journalist, Matteo Moretto, published a report that Atalanta had submitted an offer of 15 million fixed plus 5 in variables (an amount identical to that offered to Almería for the Spaniard) to Flamengo for Wesley, precisely a right back. All this began to smell a bit strange to the player’s entourage and, in fact, they admit that the feeling almost from his arrival was that Atalanta wanted to undo the deal. However, the Almera player passed the medical examination on Sunday without any problems and was asked to undergo other more exhaustive tests on his left knee. The knee was operated on last October 4 when he underwent surgery. a heterologous graft into its joint.
On Sunday night, before passing that second clinical test, Fabrizio Romano published another news item regarding Gasperini’s team that spoke about a rejected offer from Nottingham Forest of 20 million euros for Neco Williams. Another right-back on Atalanta’s agenda while Pubill, physically present, was already wearing the Bergamo team’s kit. Another piece of news that finally alerted the footballer’s entourage that What was happening during those hours in Italy was not very normal. So much so that yesterday morning, before the second tests were carried out, MARCA already reported that There were problems between clubs.
The inside story of the second tests
The second medical examination blew everything up. According to this source, the Atalanta doctor, very conditioned by what happened last season with El Bilal Tour When he arrived from Almería and relapsed from his injury, being on the dry dock for another four months, he was the one who did not trust the graft that was performed on the red-and-white full-back in that operation in October and advised the board of ‘La Dea’ not to sign the footballer for so many years (5) as provided for in the pre-contract. It was then that the sporting management of the Serie A team began to try to modify the contract with the player and change the conditions of the agreement with Almera. The ‘Nerazzurri’ proposed signing Pubill for a year on trial arguing that “they could not sign a player who is not in a position to play for more than one season.” had been operated on for less than a year.”
Despite attempts by some intermediaries to assure both the doctor and the club that The Catalan’s physical condition was impeccable As he himself had demonstrated at the Olympic Games and during the previous season with Almería, it was impossible to rectify the situation and Atalanta officially announced that gave up on signing Marc Pubill.
Photos of Marc Pubill’s father
Amidst all the information coming out of Italy that Marc Pubill had not successfully passed the medical examination, The footballer’s father entered the “battle” through ‘X’ (Twitter) to defend his son. Ignasi Pubillpublished in a very subtle way two images of Marc in the Olympic final against France where you can see the left knee (same as the operation) bleeding.
According to MARCA, during the medical examination, Atalanta tried to mess with the origin of that wound or bruise which was near the scar from the operation, trying to relate it to it when it had nothing to do with it. The Olympic player received a piston during the final, which caused him to bleed at that moment and the father demonstrated it with these two images under the title “Final Paris 2024”.
After his failed signing, The player returned to Almería yesterday afternoon. and this very morning he trained with what is still his team, waiting for him to leave for a new destination or finally stay at the Andalusian club for another season, which seems unlikely. It must be made clear that Marc Pubill is perfectly fit physically and he has no problems with his knee.
