Although there may not have been talked about in terms of a Treble, Atletico Madrid was just as lively in all three big competitions this year as Real Madrid or Barcelona in mid -March. With different levels of accident, however, Rojiblancos, however, were almost out of hunting for all three competitions in the space of four games on both sides of the international break.
In some respects, Diego Simeone will be happy with the progress that his side has made, and the large shiny light this season was the Big Money signing of star striker Julian Alvarez. According to Marca, the plan is to find a way to build it around him to increase the possibilities of Atletico to challenge trophies. Director of Football Carlos Bucero has carried out a power shift in the space of the past year to take over the majority of the responsibility with regard to transfers and has identified three positions he wants to strengthen.
In the first place, Atletico wants to renew their entire left side of the field, with a new winger and a new left back. Atalanta -wing player breathola lookman is one of the options they have considered, although it seems that it will be too expensive, but one of the priorities is Alex Baena van Villarreal, which is on the left side of a four under Marcelino Garcia Toral. His release clause is € 60 million, although there has been a suggestion that the yellow submarine would accept less.
Their other primary goal is to sign Tottenham Hotspur-back Cristian Romero, with whom they have opened conversations. However, he is also priced at € 70 million, and the success of Atletico with these movements will determine how they tackle the rest of their needs.
Bucero also wants to bring in an attacker, a midfielder and a left back. Javi Galan has difficulty convincing this season, despite the fact that he became the actual starter, and Thomas Partey of Arsenal is their favorite goal in midfield. Even when Baena comes in, a winger that is comparable to Samuel Lino is another priority, in which Los Rojiblancos expects to listen to offers for the Brazilian.
It seems to be a chaotic summer again in Atletico, with Los Colchoneros who spends almost € 200 million on Conor Gallagher, Robin Le Normand, Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth. Although it seemed as if Le Normand and Sorloth were planned as early movements, Gallagher and Alvarez later appeared as market opportunities that came up. If they can bring in a left back, left wing player and a central midfielder, they could certainly look more balanced than this season.
