DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP)—Dubai’s Al Wasl club says it has made a bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan and is awaiting a response from the Spanish club.
The club, which earlier this month hired Argentine legend Diego Maradona as coach, said in a statement Tuesday it initially made an offer which Atletico Madrid rejected so it has made an “improved bid.”
Al Wasl did not provide details of how much it is willing to pay the 32-year-old striker from Uruguay, who won the Golden Ball award as the best player of the 2010 World Cup.
The club has insisted it plans to bolster the squad now that Maradona has signed on a two-year contract. The 50-year-old Maradona has been out of coaching since he led Argentina to the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals.
