Diego Pablo Simeone appeared before the media yesterday at the press conference prior to the match against Espanyol. El Cholo was asked about various current issues at the club, to which he responded forcefully. One of these issues was the transfer market at the club and how he assessed the moves and the financial efforts made by the board.
Thanking the Atlético de Madrid directors for their great performance this summer, Simeone was also asked about the possibility of signing other players. In response to this question, the Argentine confirmed that one more signing could arrive and that we will have more information in the next few days. With his eyes set on the final stretch of the transfer market, Cholo knows that his squad is not yet completely complete.
Simeone predicts the arrival of more players
And the market still has a long way to go, something that Atlético de Madrid knows and that is why they want to make the most of their summer until the end. Simeone hopes to finalise his squad this week, days before the market finally closes. Opening the door to a final summer signing, Cholo has caused a lot of stir with his words.
The Argentine has taken it for granted that the club will sign another player in the remainder of the transfer window. This summer has been one of the busiest, if not the busiest, in the history of Atlético de Madrid , and it is the law that there will be movements until its conclusion. Waiting to see who will be the last player to join the club, the fans are counting the minutes until the signing is made official.
Who will be the last to arrive?
Forward, midfielder, defender or goalkeeper, the reality is that Atlético de Madrid 's latest signing is a real mystery among its faithful. The red-and-whites have an extensive list of players they want, but they have been left out this summer. In trying to close the deal that is the club's top priority, what Atlético would need would be to get rid of one or two players.
Let out before entering
With Thomas Lemar in particular, and other players in the air, Atlético faces the last days of the transfer market with a lot of uncertainty. The Frenchman is very well placed to leave, a move that would make things much easier for the latest signing from Atlético. Addressing the tension that will be there these days because the last movements take place, it will be difficult for both sides to get a wink of sleep.
