The Atlético de Madrid He is fully immersed in the fight for the conquest of LaLiga, but that did not stop the offices from thinking about the configuration of the squad for next season. There are several players that the club will try to start and positions that it will have to reinforce. And there is one that is a priority: the left back.
Last summer, from the Metropolitano they already tried, without success, to sign a footballer for the left-handed lane, with open negotiations with the Getafe for Mathías Olivera that they became very advanced, until the mattress makers gave up on what was said at first because they could not offer more money.
With Caio Henrique transferred to Monaco and with Manu Sanchez ceded to Osasuna, Renan lodi was left as the only born left back, with the help of Beautiful mario and even of Yannick Carrasco as a lane with the three-center system. And taking into account that the Brazilian is not at the necessary level this season, it is clear from the Metropolitan that reinforcing that demarcation will be essential for the coming year.
And there are several names that are already on the table. One is Grimaldo, of Benfica. An old aspiration of the mattresses is Valencia, 25, who has been with the Lisbon club since 2016 and has a contract until 2023. In Portugal they assure that the incarnated are willing to transfer him this next summer and Atlético is attentive to the situation. This season, he has two goals and eight assists in the 26 games he has played in the Liga NOS.
Another one that they like a lot in Atlético is Gayá. The captain of the Valencia It also has a contract until 2023 and its termination clause is 100 million euros, a figure that is completely off the market. The one from Pedreguer, also 25 years old, is very attached to the che team but this summer could agree to change of scene if the club does not take a step forward.
Gayá, possible objective of Atlético de Madrid
Robin gosens, from Atalanta, is also followed by Atlético. At 26, the German is succeeding in Italy. This season he has ten goals and eight assists in 38 games and is versatile, as he can play further ahead in that lane. Contract ends in 2022, which could lead to Atalanta to transfer it for an amount around 30 million euros so that it does not go free a year later. Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund they are interested too.
