Cholo Simeone is aware of Atlético's difficulties to strengthen itself this summer. If Gil Marín has already announced that no more than three or four news are expected, the return of loaned players can be a great solution to add strength beyond combing the market in search of a striker with a goal and a midfielder.
While Caio Henrique can earn a place on the left side and Nehuén Pérez remains on the lookout of what happens with the centrals, in band it may be the opportunity of Víctor Mollejo. Atlético and Getafe were close to finalizing their loan agreement, however, for the moment, no progress has been made. This is because Simeone wants to be sure of the wing players that he will count on before parting with a piece that could be useful.
The rojiblanco club works for certify the continuity of Yannick Carrasco after his good work after the break and is in talks with the Chinese Dalian. But in addition to the Belgian, Simeone hopes to have more daggers on the wings and the three ends of the squad are on the market. Vitolo is entering its last year of contract and a good offer would be studied carefully, since he has a very high salary. For Lemar, the difficult thing would be to recover a good part of the investment in his signing (70 million from Monaco) and in the case of Correa, the Argentine is the most important player of the three, but also the one with the most offers and a good sum of money could make you out.
Thus, the Argentine coach is waiting to know who he can count on before giving Mollejo a possible exit. If everyone continued, yes, the transfer would look good so that he continues to gain experience, and more in First. The 19-year-old player, Atlético's first debutant born in the 21st century has grown a lot in his assignment at Deportivo despite the Galician team's relegation to Second Division B.
Mollejo has shown his character, involvement, appearing first to play against Fuenlabrada despite the fact that there was nothing at stake and an injury could weigh on his future, strength, versatility, intensity (he saw 13 yellow cards) and goal. Getting to play lane when it was necessary, scored six goals the second that more of the staff only surpassed by the seven of Ager Aketxe. Some qualities very much to the taste of Simeone, who knows that with the possibility of making five changes in the matches must have alternatives And if you have to say goodbye to one of your band players to reinforce other positions, you have a bullet in your chamber called Mollejo.
