180-degree turn: Atlético 'ignores' Walter Benítez and pushes hard in Serie A

The goalkeeping issue is a very delicate one for Atlético de Madrid , who need to close this file as soon as possible. Diego Pablo Simeone 's team, after the departure of Horatiu Moldovan , has tightened the negotiations. After several names were considered, they have finally chosen.

Initially, it seemed that PSV 's Walter Benitez was the chosen one to form part of the Atletico goal. However, the high expectations of the Philips team were unacceptable for Atletico Madrid . Thus, they set their sights on Serie A , a tournament that has already strengthened them in recent times.

Juan Musso, who plays in Serie A, a new soldier for Atlético de Madrid

After several names were considered, it will finally be the Atalanta goalkeeper, JuanMusso , who will sign for Atlético de Madrid . The Argentine, who landed in Bergamo in 2021 in exchange for 20 million euros, will be the new Atlético goalkeeper. In this way, a very problematic folder for Diego Pablo Simeone is closed.

Despite losing his role as a regular starter in the championship, Juan Musso has continued to play. In fact, he has remained in the starting eleven in the UEFA Europa League , a tournament won by Atalanta last season. This is an excellent letter of introduction for the former Udinese player.

Juan Musso: reunion with old teammates at Atlético de Madrid

The Atlético de Madrid dressing room will not be a strange one for the future ex- Atalanta player, as he has old acquaintances. These are none other than world champions Rodrigo de Paul and Nahuel Molina . This is because they shared a team in Udine, where the midfielder and the full-back shone in Serie A.

Musso , who, along with Clement Lenglet , will be the fifth and sixth signings for Atlético de Madrid , increases the 'Argentine clan'. In addition to those already mentioned and the coach from Buenos Aires , Julián Alvarez and Giuliano Simeone will also be present. In this way, the number of footballers with this nationality in the dressing room is consolidated.

Atlético de Madrid is getting closer to finalising its squad

With the two arrivals that are about to be finalised, Atlético de Madrid are close to achieving their objective. The team led by Diego Pablo Simeone wants to finalise their squad as soon as possible, and, therefore, they have taken a step forward. In this way, the club that plays its matches at the Metropolitano will grow.

There are many voices, and rightly so, who do not understand the signing of Clement Lenglet , who is not the expected name. The lack of wage bill to accommodate David Hancko has led to this option being chosen, which is more affordable financially. Thus, the Barça player will arrive on loan to the Colchoneros.

Given this situation, the transfer market may be somewhat overshadowed, but, from this perspective, 'it is what it is'. Given this, Atlético de Madrid will face all competitions, and will do so with the aim of growing significantly. In this way, they will be able to achieve all the objectives that they have set for themselves.
