At Atlético de Madrid, they are always focused on improving their squad by incorporating the best players available. Therefore, it is not surprising that the upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for the rojiblancos to raise the level of their squad again. There are several targets for the sports management, as everything points to the arrival of several footballers who will strengthen all areas of the field.
Evidently, one of these areas will be the midfield, where Simeone continues to demand a figure that will finally provide balance to the team's play. There is a name that still appeals to the colchonero team and will surely be much talked about once this season ends. In fact, there are important updates about his future, as the father of this midfielder gave an interview yesterday where he talked about his son's future for the summer.
Priority for Simeone in Summer
It won't be a normal summer transfer window, as Atlético de Madrid will participate in a Club World Cup that will end in July in the United States. There will be two different periods to register signings, the first of which will be in June, just before this competition begins. The goal would be to have some of the new reinforcements by that time, although it won't be easy to close all the operations.
A midfielder who still has a chance to sign for the rojiblanco team is Javi Guerra, who was very close to arriving at the Metropolitano last August. Everything was agreed with Valencia and Peter Lim for an amount slightly over 20 million euros, but there wasn't enough room for maneuver. Now, the Spanish international has once again taken on a leading role at Mestalla, and his father spoke on Radio MARCA about the footballer's situation.
Javi Guerra Remains an Option
Everyone agrees that he lost a lot of weight at Valencia during the first months of this season, although his role has changed significantly with the change of coach. As expected, one of the topics the father was asked about is Atlético de Madrid's interest and a possible change of scenery this year. "He already said it clearly: 'I'm fine here in Valencia, if they want to sell me, they will be the ones to sell me, not because I want to leave,'" he stated about a potential departure.
The sporting situation of the Valencian team suggests that they will once again sell some of their stars to balance the books. The rojiblanco team has always had a good relationship with Peter Lim and has closed numerous operations in recent years, especially with arrivals. Javi Guerra is one of those players with whom they could make money in Valencia, and Atlético de Madrid would see him as a perfect signing for the engine room.
