Atlético de Madrid are still scanning the market environment in order to put together a squad that is guaranteed to fight for all the titles. Beyond the winter transfer market, which will begin in January, plans for the following summer are already being drawn up. In Italy, the name of a reigning champion is being mentioned as a possible reinforcement for the red-and-white team in the midfield.
However, the concerned player in this case could be Ángel Correa , who is being a key piece in several games this season. The Argentinian, who has always stood out for his work from the bench, would be included in a possible exchange of cards between clubs. For now, none of that would be for this beginning of 2025 , but it could become a reality once the current campaign ends.
Angel Correa, the Savior
The Rosario native has been standing out as a substitute for some time, becoming one of the players who has scored the most points and goals from the bench. In fact, he has taken that situation to the next level, scoring his only three goals in added time in three different matches. In all of them the match was either tied or defeated, with three goals being decisive in order to earn points.
However, as Simeone himself has admitted on numerous occasions, the player wants to be more of a protagonist, even if he has a lot of competition. Obviously, transfers such as Julián Alvarez or Alexander Sorloth are a real threat for the world champions, even if he remains key. Even so, Ángel Correa always comes into many rumors about possible departures from the squad as he is a regular substitute at the Metropolitano .
The latest information comes from Italy , where there's talk of a trade of cards that could affect the Argentine in 2025. The intention of the colchonero team is to continue rejuvenating the squad, especially in terms of defense and midfield. The chosen player would be Frattesi , a footballer from Inter Milan who has lost a lot of prominence this season and has a value of 35 million .
Exchange for 2025
For years there have been several Italian clubs that would like to sign Ángel Correa , although they have never reached an agreement. He was close to landing at AC Milan in the summer of 2019, but his biggest rival has reportedly entered the bidding for his transfer. The intention would be to use Frattesi to lower the economic demands of the red-and-white team, which are at 20 million euros .
The Italian midfielder has three goals and one assist, although he usually starts games from the bench. Any option to carry out this operation would be in the summer of 2025 , making it impossible to do so in January. It should not be forgotten that River Plate also dreams of the Argentine, although it's an even more unlikely option.
