Atlético’s current goal is to sign a new defensive midfielder.
Atlético de Madrid have already enjoyed a successful transfer spell with the arrivals of Javi Galan, Caglar Soyuncu, Cesar Azpilicueta and Santiago Mourino, but club officials are not done working on other arrivals.
Atlético’s current goal is to sign a new defensive midfielder. Several names have been mentioned, including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Sofyan Amrabat, but the main target is Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti.
As reported brand, Atletico have taken steps to recruit the Italian international. The first discussions have taken place with PSG, who value their player at 70 million euros.
The Colchoneros hope that the player sales that will take place in the coming weeks will allow them to fund their efforts to sign Verratti this summer. Unfortunately, they are likely to face competition for his signature, as Liverpool and another Premier League club, whose identity has not been revealed, are also interested.
Verratti would be an exceptional signing for Atlético de Madrid, but at this stage he is just a dream. Atletico Madrid hope to be able to generate revenue from the sale of players in the near future so that they can realize their plans.
