Atlético de Madrid wants to keep growing, and for that, it's essential to bring in reinforcements in the transfer market. The red-and-white club spent a large amount last summer to improve the squad's level, and the goal was achieved. However, the intention is not to stop there, as they know that with the arrival of some players, they can compete with anyone.
Several journalists related to the transfer market have commented that another big outlay is expected this summer. The club wants to bring in top players and will fight with whoever is necessary to try to convince them to come to Madrid. One of the positions where Simeone needs new personnel is in the midfield, and Rubén Uría has revealed a name that is very appealing.
Atlético de Madrid's Target for the Midfield
Simeone's desire to have a new midfielder has led the club's sports management to Valencia. There, last summer, Atlético de Madrid was very close to signing Javi Guerra, a 21-year-old Spanish midfielder. The agreement was complete, and the player already had a train to Madrid; however, Atleti backed out of the operation at the last minute.
Now, as Rubén Uría recently reported in ElDesmarque, the interest in the young player has been reactivated. In fact, the Spanish journalist has commented that he is a priority for Atlético de Madrid for the summer market. The player was very willing last year to wear the red-and-white, but what happened at the last minute might have made him change his mind.
Bucero's Favorite
With the departure of Andrea Berta, Bucero has taken charge of the club's sports management. Javi Guerra is a footballer he is passionate about, so his signing will be attempted with full certainty. His price may vary depending on Valencia's situation at the end of the season.
If the "che" team hasn't been relegated, they won't be forced to sell, so more than 20 million would have to be paid for him. However, if they end up being relegated, his price will drop drastically, thus making things easier for Atlético de Madrid.
