Simeone finds his great signing in Spain: it costs 20 million, TOP signing

The Rojiblancos are after a great player.

As is normal at this time of year, rumors about signings and movements keep growing within the big teams of the old continent in the market. The leaders of the main clubs in Europe are looking to strengthen their teams with standout players of enormous quality depending on the team's needs at this start. At Atlético de Madrid, the analysis of what is missing is already done, facing a rather interesting summer in which they want to sign some players.

Despite having a well-equipped and extensive team, Diego Pablo Simeone hasn'ticed the significant absences during this start of the season, identifying which positions need reinforcement. Cholo is a master at detecting weaknesses and, in the case of this Atlético, he already knows what needs to be done in the winter market. In this transfer period, the name of a footballer who shines in Spain emerges, who was, and is, showing promise due to his display of talent and great footwork quality.

Atlético de Madrid goes after a talented player

The man the red-and-whites are drooling over is Yángel Herrera, who has been playing for Girona for a few seasons. Herrera is one of the key figures at Girona, where his great performance has elevated him to the point of being sought after by half of Europe, including clubs like Atlético. However, the defender is a player the Catalans want to nurture and keep in the team given his importance in the overall dynamics.

Even so, Herrera seems to want to leave the Girona club, receiving interest from teams like Atlético to process his signing, something he views favorably. The defender remains a diamond in the rough who would fit perfectly under Simeone's orders in defense, where there is currently a lot of competition for playing time. Pending the possibility of acquiring his services, the red-and-whites are cautious and know that it will not be easy to start conversations with them to process the player's signing.

Ambition and complications

The signing of Yángel Herrera would be an impressive reinforcement for an already talent-filled defensive axis, with players like Josema Giménez or Clement Lenglet at the forefront. Herrera could be another link in the machinery that Atlético presents in its backline, where they build the team's play from the back. Willing to bring the player, Gil Marín and Simeone's staff intend to devise a plan to be able to process the signing of one of the young talents in football.
