Atlético de Madrid's goalkeeping position is still a question mark for this season and at this stage of the transfer window it could be that reinforcements will arrive in this position. The Colchoneros have not specified which players will defend the team's goal this season, given that there could still be surprises in the coming days. While waiting to definitively seal the squad, Atlético de Madrid is working to sign a reliable substitute for Jan Oblak.
Walter Benitez has been on the list of possible goalkeepers for Atletico for a few days now. The PSV goalkeeper would be happy to join Atletico Madrid and fill the gigantic shadow of the Slovenian goalkeeper when he is not available to play. In addition to Benitez , another name has been added to the list in the last few hours and everything points to him being at the top of the list.
A European champion in the Atlético goal
According to various media reports, the man chosen by Atlético de Madrid to take over as substitute in goal would be Atalanta 's goalkeeper, Juan Musso . The Italian team's goalkeeper was crucial to winning the Europa League last season and would not mind making the move to a team like Atlético . Heading, as I have said, the list of favourites for the red-and-white goal, Musso could be presented to the team in the next few hours.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper is a reliable goalkeeper and is experienced enough to take on the challenge and role that he will have to fulfil. The Argentine is excited about the possibility of coaching under Diego Pablo Simeone and hopes that he will eventually be given the opportunity. With the final decision on his future up in the air, Musso is patiently awaiting an offer from Atlético to join the Spanish capital.
An interesting replacement
Although it is rare not to see Jan Oblak in goal for Atlético de Madrid , it is always good to have a reliable substitute. Musso fits the profile that Simeone's Atlético are looking for and would be a reliable replacement for the Slovenian goalkeeper in case he does not play in the starting 11. Encouraged by Moldovan 's departure to Sassuolo , Musso hopes to be able to more than make up for the Romanian and become available to Simeone soon.
New challenges
Musso knows his quality, experience and goalkeeping skills, characteristics that he wants to give even more value to by joining a top team like Atlético de Madrid . The Argentine has worked hard to get opportunities like this and he doesn't plan on missing out. While waiting for both clubs to reach an agreement, Musso is very excited about the possibility of joining an Atlético enthusiastic about the possible signing.
