Atletico Madrid strives for another successful summer transfer window in 2025, and they can look at the Premier League in their attempt to tackle one of the positions that Diego Simeone wants to be viewed to before the beginning of next season.
Atleti has been linked to countless players in recent weeks. A new left back would be needed if Reinildo Mandava continues, and a possible replacement could be Alvaro Carreras, while club bosses also believe that Alex Baena is a player to be taken to the Metropolitano.
Left-back and left midfield are certainly areas that can be tackled this summer, but according to Relevanto, Athleti are clear that the priority is that a new central defender and central midfielder are signed during the transfer window.
And for the last position, Rodrigo Bentancur is one of the players who added Athleti to their shortlist for the summer. According to the report, their interest in the early stages is, but contacts have been made to find out if a deal would be possible.
Bentancur is a player who fits perfectly in the aggressive playing style of Simeone, and the fact that international teammate Jose Maria Gimenez is already at the club, makes it a more attractive proposition for him – and it also gives Athleti an advantage.
Bentancur sees his Tottenham Hotspur contract at the end of next season, and if there is no agreement on a new deal before summer, Atleti could use the uncertainty to make their move. However, it will not be easy because he is considered an important player in North Londs.
It is still to be seen whether Atleti Bentancur can land, but for now he is an option of many who is considered in the offices of the Metropolitano.
