Atlético de Madrid continues the search for that missing piece Simeone needs to have a well-balanced team ready to compete until the end. Meanwhile, the sports management is working calmly to find that midfielder who will complete the rojiblanco team. Many names have been mentioned so far, the latest being a young player with very little prominence in the Premier League.
In recent weeks, Arthur Melo has been strongly linked, as he doesn't have a place at Juventus in Turin and fits the profile sought by the colchonero team. Previously, there was some excitement among fans with an Enzo Fernández who had lost much weight at Chelsea. Precisely, the player appearing in the betting odds is also at Stamford Bridge, although with a much more secondary role than the Argentine.
Young and Versatile Signing
One of the priority objectives for Atlético de Madrid is to acquire young talents that don't require a significant investment, can grow, and gain value under Simeone. A player who fits these criteria is Renato Veiga, a Portuguese international from Chelsea who is rumored to be heading to the Metropolitano. The information was revealed on a program of Atleti Stream, where they discussed the player as a potential target for the Madrid club.
He is only 21 years old and can play as a left-back, center-back, and midfielder thanks to his height (1.90 meters, 6 feet 3 inches), in addition to not having minutes in England. In fact, despite his limited role, he would also be on the agenda of Borussia Dortmund, a team that has just dismissed its coach. Obviously, he would be a useful piece for Simeone, although he is not the only option on the table for this winter market.
The Big Summer Wish
In Atlético de Madrid's roadmap, the big wish is to make a significant impact in the summer market with several names on their agenda. One of them, precisely, plays for Chelsea, as the rojiblanco team has moved on from an Enzo Fernández who was previously mentioned. It has been a very unusual season for the world champion, who continues to maintain a relationship with Julián Alvarez and stated that he wishes to reunite with him at a club.
Even so, Simeone's most desired player remains Álex Baena, who continues to improve his records with Villarreal and is already starting to be mentioned for other clubs. His release price is much more affordable, as he has a release clause of 60 million euros, an amount manageable for the colchoneros. It will be the top priority for the sports management once this season ends, ideally to be present at the Club World Cup.
