Diego Conde was brought in by Villarreal this summer to replace the departed Pepe Reina. After Filip Jorgensen's move to Chelsea, he became goalkeeper number one, and despite the expensive arrival of Luiz Junior, he has retained this position until now.
Conde has impressed in his first few months as a Villarreal player, and he already appears to have his sights set on a bigger move in the future – specifically a return to Atletico Madrid.
Conde was on Atleti's books until 2021, after which he joined Getafe. However, he sees the prospect of a return in the future (via Relevo).
“It would be a dream to play for Atletico. It would close the circle of a homegrown player who dreams of reaching the first team and finally gets there.”
Atletico Madrid will soon have to look for a successor to Jan Oblak, and Conde could be a good candidate. And even if he were to move, Villarreal already have Junior as a suitable replacement.
