#3 His girlfriend has caused quite a commotion
Theo is a player who seems to enjoy a touch of controversy, and there can be little doubt that there will be more than a bit of that about should he complete his move to Madrid – not least because his girlfriend has made her thoughts towards Los Blancos known.
In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Adriano Pozueco, a 22-year-old journalism student, said: “My mum made me pretty, smart and anti-Madridista.”
That post may have vanished, but many proclaiming her love for Atleti still remain. It’s sure to make for some interesting discussions should her boyfriend complete his move across town.
