The Italian striker who is within Simeone's shot: Correa assumes the situation

A Euro 2021 champion will leave his club and has already interested Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone could be considering a signing that would add strong competition for Ángel Correa. Federico Chiesa, talented Juventus striker, has been identified by his own coach as a candidate to leave the Italian club. Although there are no confirmed rumors of an imminent signing, the possibility of Chiesa wearing the red and white colors is in the air.

Federico Chiesa and his departure from Juventus

Federico Chiesa has been one of Juventus' brightest stars in recent seasons. His speed, skill and ability to score goals have made him a coveted player. However, recent statements from his coach indicate that Chiesa could be looking for a new destination.

Atlético Madrid have shown interest in Chiesa in the past. Now, with the confirmation of his possible departure from Juventus, this interest could be revived. Chiesa's arrival at the Spanish club would not only strengthen the squad, but would also add very beneficial internal competition.

The competition for Ángel Correa

Ángel Correa has been a pillar at Atlético de Madrid, showing consistency and quality in his game. However, the possible incorporation of Chiesa would raise the level of competition in the team. Correa would have to work even harder to maintain his place in the starting lineup, which could result in an overall improvement in his performance.

On the left wing, Simeone has Samu Lino and Rodrigo Riquelme, players with imbalance and dribbling. However, the right wing is somewhat more lacking in talent and that is where the Italian could come in. Correa, despite playing as a second striker or striker, has played many of his minutes on the right side.

Remote option

Although there was interest in the past, today, Atlético de Madrid is focused on signing a new midfielder. Gallagher is the chosen one, but if the Englishman does not end up coming, Javi Guerra would join the red and white club for 25 million euros. After this, Simeone needs a new left-footed center back after the departure of Mario Hermoso.
