Atlético Madrid fans are gnashing their teeth. While La Liga resumes in just over two weeks, their club has only registered one arrival: Robin Le Normand. A major transfer to strengthen a defense that has been struggling recently, and which has also registered a few departures including Stefan Savic and Mario Hermoso. But it is not enough for the colchoneros fans, already angry with their management for a while now, and who have seen how Roma are expected to steal Artem Dobvyk from under the nose of their favorite club.
In the coming days, the Madrilenians could however conclude several quite interesting files. An offer of 26 million has been made to Feyenoord for the Czech international defender Dávid Hancko, as revealed exclusively in our columns. This is the other hottest track to strengthen the defense, ahead of other names like Aymeric Laporte.
Pretty names
For the midfield, many names have come out. Diego Simeone is very keen to count on another Real Sociedad player who won the Euro with Spain: Mikel Merino. Everything indicates that it will be played between the Rojiblancos and Arsenal in this case. The hottest lead currently leads to Conor Gallagher, the Chelsea midfielder. Under contract with the Blues until 2025, the Englishman should leave Stamford Bridge this summer and the Londoners prefer to sell him to a club outside the Premier League. Relevo explains that it is very well advanced… Note that James Rodriguez, author of a magnificent Copa América, has also been announced in the sights of the Colchoneros, while in Germany, South German newspaper explains that Atlético is also on Leon Goretzka.
It is especially in attack that Atlético wants to strike hard, especially after the departures of Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata. While the nugget Samu Omorodion could have a major role, two attacking players are expected. The priority is none other than Julian Alvarez, the Manchester City striker, a complicated case, but not impossible according to the Iberian press. After the Dobvyk failure, the Madrilenians turned to Alexander Sorloth (Villarreal), second best scorer in La Liga last year behind the Ukrainian. Gonçalo Ramos, the Parisian striker, is also on the good books of the team coached by Diego Simeone, as is the serial scorer of Sporting Viktor Gyökeres. Potentially great recruits who would allow Atlético to rise – or at least try – to the level of the big names in the championship…
