Good news at Atleti: the club registers this player and Simeone smiles

The red and white club already has its new central defender

These have been very happy hours around Atlético de Madrid , and it is no wonder. After a first month of the transfer market without movement, the red and white club has mobilized in a surprising way. After making the arrivals of Le Normand and Sorloth official , they got to work to close two major additions.

Connor Gallagher and Julián Álvarez were the two chosen to be Simeone's star signings this summer. After several days waiting for his decision, Gallagher gave the go-ahead to Atlético de Madrid to complete his incorporation. On the other hand, Julián Álvarez seemed practically impossible, due to his price and status, but the dream has become something real.

This week the arrivals of both should be made official, something that represents a huge leap in quality. Simeone has received another joy today, as the sports management has managed to register one of its most desired signings.

Le Normand inscribed

Diego Pablo Simeone needed to improve his defense to be able to compete for titles and Gil Marín listened to his request. For more than a month it was known that the red and whites had closed the signing of Robin Le Normand , but they did not make it official. Once the Euro Cup was over they announced his arrival and last week he joined the preseason.

In recent years we have been seeing how many LaLiga clubs are having a hard time registering their signings. With Atlético de Madrid 's financial investment this summer, this is a concern that several fans have. For now, the first step has been taken, as Robin Le Normand has already been registered in LaLiga as a new red and white player.

A fundamental paper

Le Normand arrives at Atlético de Madrid at the perfect age to become one of the team's most important players. A defender who has just won the Euro Cup as an undisputed starter and performing at a high level. Atleti's success largely depends on him, because without a solid defense, there are no titles.

Simeone has been behind him for some time and Robin has been the one who pushed to get to Atlético. He considers this a perfect opportunity in his career, with the perfect coach to grow even more. Atlético de Madrid is signing tall and strong people in the aerial game, giving clues to what Cholo asked for in this transfer market.
