These are hours of joy at Atlético de Madrid , as the red and white club has announced two new signings in one day. Yesterday, the additions of Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sortloth became official, hours before facing Getafe. The fans do not want this pace to stop and they already hope that in the coming days other operations can be closed.
Simeone has been needing quality signings in the midfield for several years. The departure of Saúl Ñíguez has freed up a gap in the squad that the club's sports management wants a top-level footballer to fill. Koke needs to be relieved of defensive duties, so he needs a new companion.
Mikel Merino sounded, but the recent European champion has preferred the Arsenal project. In these weeks, Atlético de Madrid has received the offer of a starter with France and Simeone has already made a decision with him.
Simeone is clear
Adrien Rabiot is a footballer who has been linked with Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid during this transfer market. The French player will not continue at Juventus and is looking for a team with great aspirations. Knowing their surroundings about the needs of the clubs in the capital, they have maintained contact with them, but Simeone has already decided.
The Argentine coach and the red and white club have ruled out the signing of the 29-year-old French midfielder. He is not the player profile they are looking for, in addition to the fact that he is asking for eight million euros net, according to what AS has commented. Real Madrid will not undertake his signing either, so Rabiot is looking for a place in the Premier League.
The favorite signing
Atlético de Madrid has been negotiating with Chelsea for several weeks to sign Connor Gallagher. The English midfielder has rejected two renewal offers, as his role in the team is not going to be as important as he wants. Given this, the rojiblancos looked at the 24-year-old midfielder and already have a financial agreement with Chelsea.
However, Gallagher is not very clear about leaving England to end up in Spain. The red and white club believe that they have done everything possible to get him to play for Atlético de Madrid, so the ball is in their court. Gil Marín is not going to wait any longer for him, if he does not decide in the next few hours, they will go for plan B.
