The Spanish journalist has updated the Atlético de Madrid market

The final hours of the transfer market are going to be a hot topic for Atlético de Madrid. When Juan Musso arrived, it seemed that the squad was completely closed, but everything indicates that this is not the case. The latest information during these days indicates that the red-and-whites will incorporate a new midfielder in the coming days.

Yesterday, Fabrizio Romano said that Matheus Nunes was an option that the red-and-white club was considering. In addition, El Chiringuito said last night that Atlético de Madrid was very interested in Getafe player Luis Milla. Finally, this morning we had the news that Gabri Veiga is a very real option and that Simeone likes him.

For what I know of any of these operations, it is essential that there are exits. A player who has been on the way out for weeks is the left back, Javi Galán. After Real Sociedad refused to sign him, Besiktas and Galatasaray have been putting pressure on him in recent days.

His departure would bring two more players

During Rubén Uría's chat on his Twitch channel, the Spanish journalist commented that the Spaniard's departure would bring two players. "If Javi Galán leaves, two players will arrive on loan," commented Uría. This means that Atlético de Madrid is very active in the transfer market at the moment.

Galán's departure would serve to free up wages and make this count in the Financial Fair Play. These are strict rules that are causing most Spanish clubs to have to do and undo to register new players.

The clause that brings Veiga closer

In terms of need, Matheus Nunes is the most suitable player for Atlético de Madrid. The City midfielder is more of a positional and holding midfielder, something that Simeone does not have in his squad. However, the club really likes Gabri Veiga, due to his youth and the great level he showed in Spain with Celta.

Rubén Uría himself has said that Veiga has a clause that would allow him to go out on loan to a European team that plays in the Champions League. This brings Veiga closer to Atlético de Madrid, as the red-and-whites seem to be the most interested in the young Spaniard. In addition, another signing could arrive in the form of a loan, so the future of Javi Galán is fundamental for this end of the market.
