Mukiele, another option for Atlético’s right back

With the march of Kieran Trippier to Newcastle already confirmed, the Atlético de Madrid has intensified the search for a right back to reinforce the squad in this winter market. With Sime Vrsaljko as the only lane in that band plus the alternative of Marcos Llorente placeholder image, who performed in that position on Thursday against Rayo Majadahonda in the Copa del Rey, Diego Simeone has requested an incorporation for that demarcation.

The name I like the most is César Azpilicueta. The Chelsea captain ends his contract next June, but the English club intends to continue it. Nelson Semedo, from Wolverhampton, and Clever Celik, from Lille, are also on the sports management agenda.

And now from France they assure that Atlético is interested in Nordi Mukiele. Does the newspaper The team, which reports that the French from Leipzig is very popular in the Metropolitan. Specifically to Andrea Berta, who in 2018 already tried unsuccessfully to sign him when he played in the Montpellier. The German club was faster, who put 16 million euros to take this promising footballer.

Now 24 years old, Mukiele it is already more consolidated. He has been international with the French absolute on one occasion and one of his qualities that they value most at Atlético is his versatility. Although his natural position is as a right back, he can act in the center of the rear and even in the center of the field on the right wing. Something to always keep in mind for Simeone that, as with Azpilicueta, he values ​​very positively that the full-back that arrives can act as a center-back in the face of the numerous problems that the Argentine coach is having this course in that field.
