At Atlético de Madrid, they will have to make difficult decisions regarding departures, as several players are uncertain about their future for the next season. Some are out of contract, others are not having the prominence they would have desired, and the last ones are ending their loan periods. All of them will need to sit down with the sports management to make a decision and choose the best path for both parties.
Meanwhile, different reports continue to emerge suggesting that some of the current footballers of the red-and-white team might interest other clubs. Specifically, many of the latest rumors come directly from the Premier League, where they seem very alert to the Atlético team. However, the latest to join the possible list of departures is a player who has always had Simeone's trust for the future.
Manchester United Enters the Race
It would be the Old Trafford team that has set its sights on a name with few minutes but who has always performed at a high level. This is Juan Musso, who still belongs to the Italian Atalanta and would be chosen to replace an Onana who has never inspired confidence in England. Many consider him one of the worst goalkeepers in the history of Manchester United, providing insecurity between the posts.
It is a complicated situation, as the Argentine goalkeeper would be delighted to continue at Atlético de Madrid, and at the Metropolitano, they would seek to keep him permanently. He has played six matches this season, keeping a clean sheet in five of them and conceding only one goal in the Copa del Rey. In fact, he will have a golden opportunity in the tie against FC Barcelona, being the starter in both matches.
Simeone Would Be Delighted to Keep Him
The reality is that Juan Musso has perfectly adapted to the locker room, having several teammates from the Argentina national team, which has benefited him. Additionally, many fans think he is the best goalkeeper to have competed with Jan Oblak since the Slovenian took over the starting position a decade ago. However, the opportunity to be more prominent is always a very tempting offer, especially considering he is 30 years old.
It could be his last big contract and the last chance to be indisputable at a historic club, even though it has been in trouble for many years. The problem is that he still belongs to Atalanta, a team that will have to decide his future if they open the door for him in the summer market. For now, the goalkeeper is focused on having a great match against Barça and being able to play in the Copa del Rey final, which will be held at the end of April.
