Atlético de Madrid are planning a revolution in defence for next season, with up to four players potentially leaving the club. The red-and-whites understand that just as an investment was made in Robin Le Normand this season, more signings are needed for 2025. The next opponent is Valencia and two players who have been on the Madrid club's agenda for a long time are arriving.
Both Cristhian Mosquera and Yarek Gasiorowski are convincing in the sporting direction led by Carlos Bucero and Andrea Berta . The Italian follows the developments of both very closely and it can be said that they will pass a kind of test in the eyes of Simeone. The coach knows that he has two centre-backs who are permanent, Robin Le Normand and Jose Maria Gimenez , but that the rest of the defenders can leave the club in the summer of 2025.
As we reported in EstoesAtleti , the red-and-white club is considering signing both players, although this summer the option of Le Normand has prevailed. The centre-back from Real Sociedad has fallen on his feet and is one of the best signings that have been made. The investment has been worth it, there are no doubts about them.
A duo like Godín and Miranda
With a market value of 15 million euros, Yarek Gasiorowski has the best possible reports, his contract expires in June 2025. In his link with the Valencian team, there is a possibility of extending the agreement for two more years. That is why the specialized transfer website Transfermarkt explains why the defender would still be tied to the Valencian club for a few more seasons.
At the red-and-white club they believe that both Yarek and Mosquera could be the duo of the future, like Diego Godin and Joao Miranda . The two centre-backs who have given the best performance to Atlético de Madrid under the Argentine coach. One of the things they like most about them is that they know each other, something fundamental for the red-and-white team, that the players know each other and are adapted to each other.
They know each other perfectly
Yarek Gasiorowski and Cristhian Mosquera have been playing together for some time, between Valencia Mestalla and Valencia CF , one of the main requirements. If the four defenders leave, they will try to sign both of them, although they know it will be complex. The sporting situation of the black and white team will also have an influence in the future, although the relationship with Peter Lim is excellent and negotiations will be held with him.
Cristhian Mosquera is a bit more expensive, but his contract does end in two seasons, in this case in 2026. The Spanish-Colombian has already told Miguel Ángel Corona 's sports management that he will renew if the sporting project is good. The reality is that Valencia is looking bad, and will arrive at the Metropolitano in direct relegation positions.
