Confirmed: Atlético de Madrid Femenino already has a replacement for Carmen Menayo

At just 21 years old, and with experience in the F League, the young center back supports the Atlético defense

Atlético de Madrid are fully focused on the match against Rosenborg that they will play in September. The team managed by Víctor Martín is aware that the match against the Norwegians is crucial. If they win, they will be one step closer to the group stage of the Champions League .

Bearing in mind that this is their main objective, the colchoneras continue working to reinforce their squad. The central position is a priority for Atlético de Madrid , who lost their star a few months ago. This is none other than Carmen Menayo , who suffered a serious injury that keeps her away from the playing fields.

The Brazilian footballer, who comes from KC Current , who they faced in the Women's Cup , is their new signing. Lauren Leal , who signs with Atlético de Madrid until June 30 , wants to bring solidity to the defense. In this way, the squad trained by Víctor Martín wants to take a step forward.

Her task will not be easy, as she must replace Carmen Menayo , a real rock on which the team was based. Despite the magnitude of the challenge ahead, Lauren Leal , who already played for Madrid CFF , is not afraid. At just 21 years old, she knows the Liga F, the national domestic tournament, perfectly.

Furthermore, it must be taken into account that, like Gio Queiroz, his compatriot, he knows the coach perfectly. Therefore, this is another point in favour of Lauren Leal , who wants to show what she is capable of in the elite. Thus, while Carmen Menayo returns, Atlético can rest easy in the centre of defence.

Atlético de Madrid fans already know Lauren Leal

With the Ciudad de Alcalá trophy on the horizon, the red-and-white fans already know their latest signing. In the last few hours, on the so-called Welcome Night, Lauren Leal already knows what it is like to jump to the Metropolitano . Along with the rest of the club's signings, she has been welcomed by her new fans in the best way.

Now, we just have to see the young player, who has a lot of potential, in action with Atlético de Madrid . Little by little, she must adapt to what her coach asks of her, who wants to get the best version of her on the field. Only then will she be able to establish herself as a starter in the always demanding eleven of the Alcalá de Henares club.

Atlético de Madrid, with the Champions League on the horizon

With the signing of this new addition, the Colchoneras have a clear objective in their sights: the Champions League . To reach the group stage, they have to overcome teams like Rosenborg , something that is not easy. Therefore, they must arrive in the best possible condition for this type of clash.

It is a huge challenge, as without Carmen Menayo to lead their defence, they will have to be more focused than ever. However, their hopes are not leaving them, knowing that they can achieve their great goal. In this way, Atlético de Madrid wants to make a splash in the top continental competition.
