One of Atlético de Madrid's promising players will go on loan after the arrival of Julián Álvarez

Real Zaragoza has Adrián Niño, a promising young player from Atlético de Madrid, on its radar as a priority target to reinforce its forward line this season. This interest arises in a context where the Aragonese club is looking to strengthen its attack with young and promising talent. We must add the fact that the arrival of Julián Álvarez makes it difficult for others to get minutes. The Spider is coming to play everything.

The good relations between Atlético de Madrid and Zaragoza have made it easier for many players to join the Blanquillo team in recent years. Players such as Santiago Mouriño, Víctor Mollejo, Germán Valera, Giuliano Simeone and Juan Manuel Sanabria are some of the most recent.

However, everything points to them not being the last. According to ElDesmarque, Victor Fernandez has personally asked Miguel Angel Gil Marin to loan Adrian Niño.

Adrián Niño has been a standout in the youth ranks of Atlético de Madrid. He is a 1.84-meter-tall extrem or center forward who stands out for his power, speed and excellent reading of the area.

With an innate instinct for goalkeeping, he has managed to score eight goals in 37 Primera RFEF matches with Atlético B. In addition, his performance in the UEFA Youth League has been outstanding, accumulating 12 goals and three assists in 15 matches played, figures that demonstrate his ability.

However, Adrián Niño is not just a goalscorer inside the box; he is a fast and vertical attacker who can adapt to playing on either wing. Such is the confidence of Diego Pablo Simeone in him that he has even called him up for LaLiga EA Sports and UEFA Champions League matches.

Adrian Niño could leave on loan now

Zaragoza, aware of his potential, believes that his signing could bring freshness and effectiveness to the team's attack. According to the Heraldo de Aragón, negotiations could advance in the coming days, although the terms of the possible agreement have not yet been finalised.

Real Zaragoza, under the technical direction of Fran Escribá, continues to explore options to ensure a competitive team in the current campaign. The possible arrival of Adrián Niño would be part of a broader strategy to strengthen the squad and aim for ambitious goals in the season.

This deal, if completed, could represent an important opportunity for both the player and the club. It would allow Adrián Niño to gain experience in a demanding league, while Zaragoza would benefit from his youth and goalscoring ability.
