The winter transfer market will close in the next few hours and Atlético de Madrid, barring a huge surprise, will not make any signings. The red-and-white club was looking for a "low-cost" midfielder who could compete for the starting position, but they haven't found that player. Therefore, Simeone will finish the season with the same players he started with.

Looking ahead to next summer, things change a lot, as the red-and-white club is expected to make a big expenditure again. There is a player who was very close last summer to signing for Atlético de Madrid, but the deal fell through. He stayed with his team and has been one of the players of the week, about whom the famous journalist, Miguel Quintana, has spoken.
Quintana's words
Javi Guerra had his signing with Atlético de Madrid done, but the red-and-white club pulled back at the last moment. However, he is a player who is still very much liked by the coaching staff and is not ruled out for the next transfer market. This weekend, in Valencia's victory, he was a clear protagonist of the match, with an assist and a great goal. Miguel Quintana spoke about it on his X account, dedicating the following words to the young Spaniard.
"What quality Javi Guerra has, he is the player who raises the ceiling of this Valencia CF. It's difficult to know or say what he needs to shine consistently, because the context is not easy, but he's a great player." These were Quintana's words about the young midfielder.
Atlético de Madrid is closely following him
Despite his signing for Atlético de Madrid falling through, the red-and-white club is closely following the Valencia midfielder. Simeone still needs another midfielder in the team and Guerra is one of the best-positioned to join. In fact, the famous Rubén Uría has spoken about him recently.

"Atlético de Madrid has re-contacted the player's entourage a few days ago. They have let him know that they are still very interested in him and Javi Guerra is already aware of the news. He is a player who is very much liked at the club and Carlos Bucero was very eager to sign him," commented the journalist.
