Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke is the next generation Spanish superstar who is likely to take Xavi’s role for the Spain national team. Koke has been chased by Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United, but he feels Madrid is his home, and therefore it is difficult to lure him away from Atletico, but his transfer chances cannot be completely ruled out either. Catalan newspaper Sport claim today that Barcelona haven’t given up on Koke yet but they feel his €60m release is ‘madness’ and say ‘could they get him in January? Few things are impossible in football.’ Last summer, Barcelona were handed a choice to make a move for either of Koke or Rakitic; the Blaugrana went for the later, mainly because of financial reasons. Koke himself revealed that it was hard for him to refuse tempting offer from Barcelona, but he could not bear to leave Vicente Calderon.
