At a time when many coaches of major European clubs are leaving the ship, Diego Simeone is an exception. Benefiting from a juicy salary, the Argentine tactician especially enjoys enormous support from supporters and his managers who encourage him to implement his very particular philosophy. But now, despite some convincing results in the past, El Cholo’s method has not borne fruit this season. Doomed to finish fourth on the other side of the Pyrenees, the Colchoneros also disappointed in the Champions League with an elimination in the quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund.

Therefore, it is difficult to say that this 2023-2024 vintage will be a success for the residents of Civitas Metropolitano. However, Diego Simeone and his staff will still be on the Madrid bench while the Argentine mentor’s contract expires in 2027. A situation which allows the leaders of Atléti to already plan for next season with serenity and in consultation with their coach. And despite his propensity to shine through the defensive quality of his teams, the former midfielder wants to improve the offensive quality of his team for next season. As a reminder, Atlético de Madrid have scored 68 goals this season in La Liga, a minimum of 9 fewer than the teams ahead of them.

Memphis and Morata out, Dovbyk and Sorloth in?

To remedy this crippling problem at the very highest level, the club from the Iberian capital already has ideas in mind. Indeed, to believe Marca, the offensive renewal of the Matelassiers will go through two targeted departures. Indeed, while Antoine Griezmann is untouchable after an excellent season, Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata are in the hot seat. The first city, heroic against Inter Milan, never really fit into Simeone’s plans. Aged 30, the former OL magician should pack his bags this summer one year before the end of his contract. Alvaro Morata is also affected by this offensive cleaning. Scorer 15 times this season in the Championship, the 31-year-old Spanish striker risks being sold in the coming months before his value plummets. For his part, the former Juventus Turin player is not sure of his future.

To replace them, Madrid leaders planned to plunder La Liga. Indeed, top scorer in La Liga with 23 goals, Alexander Sorloth is targeted. Pichichi of the season so far and author of a quadruple against Real Madrid this weekend, the Norwegian giant has reached a real milestone since the arrival of Marcelino on the Villarreal bench. The other targeted player is the revelation of the season. Author of 21 goals with the sensation Girona, Artem Dovbyk impressed Also counting seven assists, the 26-year-old striker proved that he was a player capable of evolving even higher. In these two cases, Atlético will have to break the bank while neither Villarreal nor Girona will make any gifts for the two top scorers in La Liga as confirmed Marca.
