Atlético de Madrid is planning its next transfer market, and Simeone is clear about his target to strengthen the right-back position: Jon Aramburu, as reported by Fichajes.net. The Real Sociedad defender is having a great season in LaLiga, and his versatility makes him an ideal signing for the rojiblancos.
Aramburu on Atlético de Madrid's Radar
Nahuel Molina's performance has raised doubts within Atlético de Madrid's coaching staff, and the club is looking for a reliable alternative. Jon Aramburu, 22 years old, has been one of the revelations of the season with Real Sociedad. This has sparked the interest of several major teams, including Newcastle United and Inter Milan.
The Venezuelan full-back has a contract with the San Sebastián club until 2030 and a release clause of 60 million euros, a high figure that could complicate the operation. However, at the Metropolitano, they are analyzing the possibility of negotiating his transfer or finding a way to facilitate his arrival.
Simeone especially values Aramburu's versatility, as he can play both as a right-back in a four-man defense and in a more advanced role in a three-center-back formation. This tactical flexibility would allow Atlético de Madrid to keep Marcos Llorente in the midfield and have a reliable alternative for Molina.
European Competition for His Signing
Atlético de Madrid is not the only big club paying attention to the significant growth of the Real Sociedad player. From England and Italy, two clubs with high economic power and great history in soccer are also closely following Aramburu. The first team to have him on their radar is Newcastle United. They see him as an ideal replacement for Kieran Trippier.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan also wants to strengthen the right-back position. His profile would fit into Simone Inzaghi's defense, especially if the Italian club loses Denzel Dumfries in the summer. Atlético de Madrid doesn't want to miss out on an emerging talent from LaLiga and is already working to secure his signing. The next transfer window will be key to defining Jon Aramburu's future.
