Atlético Ready To Give Up On Neves
Atlético de Madrid are set to pull out of the race to sign Thiago Neves after his asking price was put up when a deal looked set to be finalised this week.
Los Colchoneros are keen to add another midfielder to their ranks before the start of the season and were confident that the 23-year-old would be theirs.
A 12m fee looked to have been settled upon with Fluminese, who own one third of his rights, and Grupo Sonda, who own two thirds, but that has now changed.
With interest also coming from England, the Brazilian business group believe that they could receive a larger amount if they bide their time and wait for another offer.
Manchester City have been reported to have watched Neves, but have yet to make an official enquiry about his services to either his club or Grupo Sonda.
Now Atlético's sporting director, Jesús García Pitarch, is ready to pull the plug on the deal and has held talks with president Enrique Cerezo and coach Javier Aguirre.
Grupo Sonda are believed to have told the Spanish outfit that rather than the 12m that had been discussed, they now valued Neves at 16m and would wait for an offer closer to that mark.
Atlético could now turn their attention to Neves' compatriot Diego, who could still be tempted away from Werder Bremen if they can persuade the German club to accept their payment plan.
A deal could have been done earlier in the summer had Werder not objected to Atlético's plan to defer payment of the transfer fee and instead demanded that they received a lump sum up front.

马竞开价12m，佛罗米嫩塞要价16m，转会可能停止，曼城也希望得到内维斯
还好罗马最终没转向内维斯，要价太狠了 |
