Atlético has Carlos Soler on the radar for next season. The Valencia midfielder is one of the players who manages the sports management of the Madrid club as reinforcement for the next exercise. Carlos Soler (01-02-1997, 25 years old) is a player to the liking of both Simeone and Berta and Atlético needs to reinforce itself in midfield after the departure of Héctor Herrera. The rojiblanco team will be very attentive to what happens with the Valencia player.
Soler’s contract with Valencia ends on June 30, 2023, so it is the last season in the Valencian club. At Atlético they know that he is the ideal age and has the necessary experience to perform well for Atlético. It does not need any type of adaptation to LaLiga. And his performance has been very good in this exercise: 32 league games, with 11 goals and five assists. And six from the Cup, with one goal. In total, twelve goals, an important figure for a midfield player.
The market value of Carlos Soler is 50 million according to Transfermarkt, a figure that Atlético could not afford to pay. Atlético could include a player in the operation. One of them would be Wass, signed from Valencia in the winter market and who barely played forty-five minutes for the Madrid team. Wass has it very difficult to follow Simeone’s orders and Atlético would have to find him a team. His injury against Barcelona left him out of action for almost the rest of the season.
Atlético also has projection players who will start the preseason with Simeone and their future will have to be seen: Camello, Riquelme, Samuel Lino… Footballers who could enter into an operation carried out by the rojiblanco team this summer.
Simeone needs to reinforce himself in the center of the field. Kondogbia has had a good season and is a permanent fixture at Atlético. Koke is too, although Herrera’s departure leaves a hole in the midfield. And the future of some players is up in the air. Lemar did not respond to Atlético’s renewal offer and it ends in 2023. He could leave.
