Atlético de Madrid have been one of the most active teams in this transfer market, a very lively one. The club from the Metropolitano has finally undertaken a real revolution in its first team. All, with the aim of providing its coach, Diego Pablo Simeone , with the weapons he needs for this season.
As a result, there have been many different signings, such as Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth . Great players who have been convinced by the project of an Atlético de Madrid that wants more. At this time, with hours to go before the end of the market, Diego Pablo Simeone 's men have been very clear.
Atlético de Madrid, clearer than ever about the transfer market
Despite the fact that, in the last few hours, different names have been linked, Atlético de Madrid have been very clear. With only a few hours left until the transfer market closes, Diego Pablo Simeone 's team considers it closed. After what they have done this summer, they are satisfied with the signings.
As Atlético de Madrid president Enrique Cerezo announced on Movistar on Thursday, this is confirmed. “We have a finalised squad. I don't think anything important will emerge in 24 or 48 hours,” he said.
In this way, media such as Mundo Deportivo confirm the position of the red-and-white club. Atlético de Madrid , with its position, has made it clear that it does not intend to move its squad. With this, Diego Pablo Simeone will have to compete with the weapons that have been acquired in recent months.
Simeone confirms Atlético de Madrid's position
Although the coach had left the door open in the press conference before the match against Espanyol , the situation has changed. In his press conference before travelling to Bilbao , the Atlético de Madrid coach made it clear.
“Unless there is a surprise, the squad is complete, everything would be fine.” In this way, Diego Pablo Simeone is staying in line with the club. Therefore, the arrival of a midfielder, his main priority, must be ruled out.
Two Atlético de Madrid players breathe a sigh of relief with Simeone
Thus, there are footballers, such as Javi Galán or Thomas Lemar , who can breathe a sigh of relief. They are not expected to leave the Metropolitano in the next few hours, so they will be part of the squad. Thus, both will have another opportunity to convince their coach.
Both have a lot of work to do in this regard, as last season was not very positive. Thomas Lemar missed much of the season due to a serious injury, which left him out of action. In the case of Javi Galán , it must be taken into account that he even went out on loan to Real Sociedad .
Atlético de Madrid faces a new opportunity
After two setbacks at the start of the season, Atlético de Madrid are forced to raise the bar. Diego Pablo Simeone and his men, such as Javi Galán and Thomas Lemar , are aware that they must improve. Therefore, the match against Ernesto Valverde 's men could be a turning point.
