As is normal at this time of year, rumors about signings and movements keep growing within the big teams of the old continent in the winter market. The leaders of the main clubs in Europe are looking to strengthen their teams with standout players of enormous quality depending on the team's needs at this start. At Atlético de Madrid, the analysis of what is missing is already done, facing an interesting winter market in which they want to sign some players.
Despite having a well-furnished and extensive team, Diego Pablo Simeone hasn'ticed the sensitive losses during this start of the season, identifying which positions need reinforcement. Cholo is a master at detecting weaknesses and, in the case of this Atlético, he already knows what needs to be done in the winter market. In this transfer period, the name of a footballer who shines in LaLiga emerges, who was and is showing promise due to his display of talent and great footwork quality.
Atlético de Madrid goes after a talent
The man the red-and-whites are drooling over is Dário Essugo, who has been playing for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria since this season. Essugo is one of the key figures of Las Palmas, where his great performance has elevated him to the point of being sought after by half of Europe, including clubs like Atlético. However, the Portuguese player is someone that Sporting de Lisboa, his original club, wants to nurture and keep in the team given his future potential.
Even so, Essugo seems to want to leave the Lisbon club, receiving interest from teams like Atlético to process his signing, something he views favorably. The midfielder 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 red-and-whites are cautious and know that it will not be easy to start conversations with them to process the player's signing.
Ambition and complications
The signing of Dário Essugo would be an impressive reinforcement for an already talent-filled midfield, with players like Pablo Barrios or Rodrigo de Paul at the forefront. Essugo could be another link in the machinery that Atlético presents in its midfield line, where they shape the team's play from the back. Willing to bring the player, Gil Marín and Simeone's staff intend to devise a plan to be able to process the signing of one of the young talents in football.
