Atlético Madrid Wants to Sign a European Gem: Partner for Giuliano Simeone

Cholito is aware of the situation.

At Atlético de Madrid, competition is increasingly fierce, to the point where many of those footballers who were once undisputed starters are now limited to being substitutes. The usual starters have been relegated to the background, either because a new figure has emerged or because an injury has disrupted their plans at the club. This reason is the main factor among this group of players who no longer appear among the 11 chosen by Diego Pablo Simeone as frequently as before.

In the current season, players like Giuliano Simeone or Rodrigo de Paul have established themselves in the team in a way that is both effective and surprising, being undisputed in the starting line-ups. In the case of Giuliano Simeone, his breakthrough into his father's team has been complete this season, taking full control of the right flank for several months. Additionally, Simeone seems to have found the ideal partner in the center, focusing on a player from Sweden who has a complicated but not ruled out transfer to Atlético.

Various Challenges

The man the rojiblancos are drooling over is Roony Bardghji, who has been playing for COPEnhagen for several seasons. Bardghji is one of the standout names in Denmark, where his great performance has elevated him to the point of being sought after by half of Europe, including clubs like Atlético. However, the midfielder is a player the Danes want to nurture and keep in the team given his importance in the overall dynamics.

Even so, Bardghji seems to want to leave the club, receiving interest from teams like Atlético or Madrid to process his transfer, seeing this in a positive light. The Swede remains a diamond in the rough who would fit perfectly under Simeone's orders in the midfield, where there is currently a lot of competition for playing time. Pending the possibility of acquiring his services, the rojiblancos are cautious and know that it won't be easy to initiate conversations with them to process the player's transfer.

Ambition and Complications

The signing of Bardghji would be an impressive reinforcement for an already talent-filled midfield, with players like Rodrigo de Paul or Conor Gallagher at the forefront. Bardghji could be another link in the machinery that Atlético presents in its engine room, where the team's play has been brilliant in recent matches. Eager to bring the player, Gil Marín and Simeone's staff intend to devise a plan to process the signing of one of the young talents in soccer.
