One of the most delicate moments of the transfer market at Atlético de Madrid exploded on the last day when Arsenal triggered Thomas Partey's release clause to buy him to England.
The operation created a lot of controversy and Arteta, cold, has sent a clear message to the rojiblanco club and its fans.
The one who was Pep Guardiola's assistant appeared before the media this Saturday and explained that "as long as the clause exists, this movement is legal." "I do not know if they are upset, but when there is this possibility, it is something that can arise at any time," he added.
For Arteta, what happened does not offer any possibility to get upset or complain because "while the market is open, we did something totally legal." In addition, the Arsenal manager acknowledged that "we had some contact with them before, so I hope they respect our decision."
These words, curiously, accompany those of Simeone, who, far from being offended in the press room, this past Friday assured that "everything good that happens to Thomas, I will be happy. He is a boy who has grown up with us, who has made this decision and I hope it goes well. "
Simeone's response, for example, is not close to those given with Lucas -stating that it was the movement that hurt him the most- and with Griezmann, from whom he dropped some situations after his departure to FC Barcelona.
