Atlético de Madrid is keeping a close eye on all the movements in a very busy transfer market. The team from the capital of Spain, which is hoping to take a significant step forward, has several positions marked in red. One of them is the midfield, which is dominating the news for the colchoneros.
Conor Gallagher is Atlético de Madrid's top priority, but his operation has become complicated in recent days. There has been progress, but it may not be enough for a team that needs to strengthen its midfield as soon as possible. That is where Rodrigo de Paul and Koke are still waiting for new signings.
The surprising name that appears to compete with Rodrigo de Paul and Koke
In the last few hours, given the possibility that Conor Gallagher might leave, Atlético de Madrid have other names in mind. One of them, the most surprising, by the way, is that of Sofyan Amrabat, ex-Manchester United player. The Moroccan international would be back on the radar of Atlético Madrid.
As Footmercato points out, the Fiorentina player, who has been linked in recent months, could once again be in the spotlight. This option is surprising, since everyone had forgotten about him, but the market is clear. Until it closes, we must not forget any option.
After only starting 19 times for the 'Red Devils', Sofyan Amrabat wants to compete with Rodrigo de Paul and Koke. The Argentine and the Madrid native could find themselves facing considerable competition in midfield. A very delicate position that continues to attract attention at Atlético de Madrid.
The midfield and helping Rodrigo de Paul and Koke, priority
This position has become, over time, a major priority for Atlético de Madrid. The club is aware that its coach needs a player who will allow it to make a great leap in quality. Only in this way will it be able to achieve all its objectives and return to the European elite.

Only in this way will Atlético Madrid be able to show that it is serious in a season that looks set to be crucial. From the offices, it is known that the team needed a 'coat of paint'.
So they set to work to give their coach the reinforcements he needs.
Rodrigo de Paul and Koke are closely watching everything that is happening in the transfer market. They know that, if Atlético finds the key, they can make a great leap forward in quality in the season that is about to begin, debuting on Monday in Villareal.
