EXCLUSIVE: Moreno’s agent confirms Inter, Bayer, Porto and Benfica offers!
CM.com has exclusively talked with the player’s agent Eladio Tamayo who has confirmed the nerazzurri offer.
Mr. Tamayo, is Moreno destined to play in Europe?
“Each South-American footballer wants to play in Europe one day. We are working to make it happen. However, Marlos is only focused on the Copa Libertadores now and wants to bring Atletico Nacional at the top. Someone compares him to Asprilla, someone else to Neymar. Asprilla has been one of the finest Colombian footballers and I believe they have similar features. They’re both very fast with great one-to-one dribbling skills and very good with both feet. Moreno is young but has already played for Colombia national team. I just want to add that there is someone in Europe who’s pretending to represent Moreno. Mr. Humberto Quiceno and I are the only two people entitled to negotiate for the player and we’ve received many offers from European clubs.
Are Inter among those clubs?
Absolutely. We know they are in contact with Atletico Nacional. We still don’t know how much they’ve offered, but I can say they are interested like other Italian clubs (probably Juve and Roma). Bayern Leverkusen, Porto and Benfica have made offers too.
Is anyone in pole position to sign him?
“No, but we’ll talk about the player’s future once the Copa Libertadores will be over. Marlos was born in 1996 so we want to join a club which can give him game time. That’s a fundamental condition. He doesn’t want to lose his spot in Colombia national team. We are very proud of the interest of a club like Inter, we are open to negotiate a transfer there if they have interesting projects for the player’s future.
Have Atletico Nacional put a € 10 million price-tag on him?
“These kinds of decision belong to the club. I can only say the offer must be really high if any club want to open transfer talks.”
French media suggest Moreno is closing in to a move to PSG, is that true?
“As I said before, no one is in pole position yet. We like Italy and at the end of May we’ll make a decision on the player’s future.”
