Atlético de Madrid are on the verge of receiving a new signing that could transform their defensive line. Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso is one step away from becoming the new Atlético goalkeeper, with his arrival scheduled for tomorrow, after completing his medical this morning.
Musso, who arrives on loan from Atalanta for 1.5 million euros, will sign a one-year contract with Atlético Madrid. However, the loan includes a purchase option worth 7 million euros, which will be activated if the goalkeeper proves to be a key player.
A mandatory movement
This move comes at a crucial time for Atletico, who recently saw Moldovan leave for Sassuolo. Musso's arrival offers Diego Simeone a new option in goal. Musso has been in good form and arrives in Madrid with a solid foundation of recent performances.
The process to formalise his incorporation will take place early in the morning, when Musso undergoes the medical tests. If everything goes smoothly, the contract will be signed that same day. After completing all the necessary formalities, the goalkeeper will join the team and could be one of the big new features in tomorrow's afternoon training session, at 7:00 p.m.
For Simeone, this addition is not only a reinforcement, but also an opportunity to manage healthy competition for Oblak. Musso's arrival could be a boost for the Slovenian, who has been the undisputed goalkeeper for Atlético for years. Musso, with his style of play and skills, could offer new dynamics and quality to the team, creating internal competition that benefits the club as a whole.
Level competition for Oblak
Simeone's aim is to quickly assess how Musso adapts to Atlético's style of play. His performance during the season will be crucial in determining whether the purchase option is exercised. Should Musso fit perfectly into the team and the coach's demands, Atlético could decide to acquire him outright.
With Musso's arrival imminent, Atlético Madrid are preparing for a new chapter in their recent history. The goalkeeping dynamics will change and Simeone will have the opportunity to evaluate the chemistry between his goalkeepers and their effectiveness on the pitch. The situation offers a new perspective for the team and promises to keep fans on the lookout for the impact Juan Musso can have.
