Atlético de Madrid's roadmap for the end of the transfer market: Joao Félix pending

The Colchoneros plan to continue operating towards the end of the transfer market, which they expect to be intense.

Atlético de Madrid are planning to make a final effort to finish off a historic transfer market for them in every sense. The red-and-whites have signed several renowned players this summer, including Conor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez, the real Atlético Madrid hit. Even so, the transfer window has not yet declined for them and the club's offices hope to be able to sign some more players to finish off their intense summer.

The reality is that after spending a fortune on previous signings, Atlético Madrid need to sell before continuing to sign. Simeone 's men have spent a huge amount of money on signings that are as expensive as they are complicated and they cannot afford to make more moves without letting some players go first. With 21 days to go until the end of the transfer window, Atlético Madrid 's roadmap is very clear in terms of operations.

Metro policy: leave before entering

With several players on the transfer list, Atlético de Madrid hope to get rid of them in the short period of time they have until the market ends. The colchoneros have attached to that list the names of important players such as Joao Félix , Ángel Correa or, even, the youth team player Rodrigo Riquelme . In need of money to seal other signings, Atlético does not hesitate when it comes to adding players to the transfer list, given the considerable financial demand.

Atlético are not giving up on signing more players to build a team capable of competing for the whole of next year, but they need to sell first. The financial demands of modern football are impressive and, if they want to tie down these new players, they must first get rid of some of the financial prodigies of their team. With the uncertainty of knowing how everything will end for Atlético , there are many players that the colchoneros do not want in their renewed squad with the aim of continuing to bring in new additions.

Joao Felix, leader of the exit ramp

The Portuguese is Atlético de Madrid 's main target in their sales plan, something that Joao agrees with given that he wants to leave the club this summer. Neither the team nor the player want to see each other this season, so an exit would be the best for both and to finalise the new signings that are planned. If they do not end up receiving any offer for Joao , the player would stay at the club for another year and they would look to give other important players an exit.

Correa and Riquelme, heavyweights on the list

Both the Argentine and the youth player are being considered as possible sales to bring in money before trading for other players. Both players would leave a significant sum of millions if they leave, something that would be very useful for the red-and-whites to try to sign commercial targets such as David Hancko . At the expense of being able to find the ideal solution for all parties, Atlético de Madrid is working tirelessly to be able to shape its competitive team in the best possible way.
