Atlético de Madrid has accelerated in the transfer market in recent hours and it seems that tomorrow the third signing could be announced. Yesterday, the red and whites made the arrivals of Sorloth and Le Normand official, but there were still more additions to be made. After the departure of Saúl Ñíguez from Sevilla, it was clear that Simeone needed a new midfielder.
The objective of the sports management of the rojiblanco club during this market was to rejuvenate the squad. Atlético de Madrid has been negotiating with Chelsea for weeks for the signing of Connor Gallagher , but they are already tired of waiting for the Englishman. He had to make a decision about whether to leave England or not and given his doubts, they have closed a new signing in a matter of hours.
Simeone's new diamond
Relations between Atlético de Madrid and Valencia have been excellent for years, something that has favored the red and whites. Gil Marín, seeing Gallagher's delay in his decision, has decided to close the signing of the young midfielder, Javi Guerra. At 21 years old, he is one of the best projects in Spanish football, despite not having gone to the Olympic Games.
As reported by journalist Hector Gómez, the rojiblancos will pay 25 million euros for him plus five in variables. In addition, Valencia saves 5-10% of a future sale of Javi Guerra. He will sign until 2030 and will become one of the club's great hopes to make the team a winning team.
Koke has a replacement
Koke has been one of Atlético de Madrid's most important players in the last decade and that is indisputable. The captain has always been there when he has been needed most, often having to play out of position. However, like everyone else, Koke is getting older and it is something that season after season shows in his legs.
Javi Guerra is a footballer with a privileged physique, a great stride and a category and hierarchy unique for his age. According to Rubén Uría on his Twitch channel, the young Spaniard is a player that Simeone really likes. He believes he has spectacular conditions and sees him as a great replacement for his captain, Koke Resurrección.
Matteo Moretto has also confirmed this operation, pointing out that all that remains is the signing and exchange of documents between clubs. Except for a major surprise, Javi Guerra will be a footballer for Atlético de Madrid in the next few hours.
