Transfer rumors: Atletico Madrid pounce on Milan, Inter target Hatem Ben Arfa
As mercato365.com reports, Ben Arfa, a former Newcastle player, would prefer to join La Liga side rather than one of the two Serie A clubs.
The reason is pretty simple: Atletico Madrid, leaded by the charismatic gaffer Diego Simeone, will play Champions League football next season, while both Inter and Milan might only qualify to Europa League.
Ben Arfa, 29, has scored 13 goals in 30 games this season.
