The move for the Dane comes as a direct result of Atleti distancing themselves from Gomes. Moretto revealed that the relationship between the club and super-agent Mendes soured significantly during negotiations for Bernardo Silva. The rift stems from Mendes abruptly halting Silva's advanced negotiations with Atletico so the midfielder could entertain an approach from rival Real Madrid. This fallout has forced the Spanish giants to look elsewhere, leading them directly to the Sporting CP star who has excelled in the Primeira Liga.
