Atlético de Madrid is still looking for solutions to strengthen their midfield. At the end of the last transfer window, the club tried to sign a new midfielder. However, they were unable to complete any deal.
This situation leaves players like Thomas Lemar in an awkward position. The Frenchman has not been able to perform at the expected level since his arrival at the team.
Now, an interesting possibility has emerged for the red-and-white club: Adrien Rabiot . The French midfielder, who has been on Atlético 's radar in the past, remains without a club. Although there are no solid rumours linking him directly to Diego Simeone 's side at the moment, his name could pop up in the coming weeks.
Lemar's dilemma
Thomas Lemar arrived at Atlético de Madrid in 2018 with a promising name, expected to be a star signing after standing out at Monaco . However, his performances have been inconsistent, and although he has had flashes of quality, he has failed to become a decisive player. Despite his efforts, Lemar has been overshadowed by other midfielders in the team, which raises doubts about his future.
Atletico is looking for ways to strengthen their squad, and the possibility of signing Rabiot would not help Lemar 's situation. The former Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus player is a complete midfielder. Rabiot has experience, quality and the ability to adapt to various roles in midfield.
Rabiot, an option to consider
Despite there being no active rumours linking Rabiot to Atlético Madrid , his current situation makes him an interesting option. The Frenchman has been a player who, in the past, was on the agenda of several top clubs. Although his career has had its ups and downs, his quality is undeniable, something that could perhaps still lead to him delivering a great performance in a team of the magnitude of Atlético .
The fact that Rabiot is still a free agent allows the Madrid club to consider signing him without the pressure of the transfer market. This flexibility is key for a team that is always looking to improve and adjust its squad to the demands of the season.
