Mouriño: A Return to Atlético on the Horizon?

Atlético de Madrid is closely monitoring the progress of Santiago Mouriño, a Uruguayan defender currently playing for Alavés. After being transferred last summer, the Rojiblancos club reserved a buy-back option for the player, a clear sign of the confidence placed in his potential.

Although his name has been strongly linked with reinforcing the Colchoneros defense, his immediate return to the Metropolitano does not appear to be a priority at this time. From Atlético’s sports management, his growth and adaptation at Alavés are positively valued, where he is gaining valuable experience.

The possibility that Mouriño will continue his development in Vitoria for another season, without losing sight of him, is an option that is gaining strength. His performance at Alavés and the possible departure of some defenders made the club consider his return.

The buy-back clause, set at 4 million, is an important asset that Atlético is keeping for the future. However, everything indicates that Mouriño will continue to wear the Alavés shirt next season, with the aim of consolidating himself in the First Division. Atlético de Madrid, attentive to his progress, could consider his return in subsequent transfer windows, when the player has reached his maximum level. The Colchoneros fans eagerly await the moment when Mouriño can defend the red and white colors.

Remembering the Atlético B that sparked dreams of promotion

It has been five years since Atlético de Madrid B managed to compete in the promotion playoffs to the Second Division. The last time, under the direction of Nacho Fernández, a team full of talent and ambition caressed the dream.

Names like Riquelme, Camello, and Germán Valera shone in that youth team that left its mark. Of that squad, Juan Román Riquelme is the only one who has established himself in the first team, even reaching the national team.

Camello and Manu Sánchez also enjoy a solid career in the top category of Spanish football. Others like Toni Moya have also had the opportunity to play under Simeone. Many of the players from that Atlético B found their way into professional football, demonstrating the club’s good training work.

Ricard Sánchez is a pillar at Granada, while Juanma Sanabria has established himself at Atlético San Luis. Óscar Clemente, for his part, has significant experience in the Second Division. Nacho Fernández himself highlights the importance of instilling in young people the ability to compete at the highest level.

‘It was a generation with great talent. But they learned that as important as talent is knowing how to compete,’ recalls the coach. That team not only came close to promotion but also served as a springboard for many players to fulfill their dreams in professional football.

Julián Álvarez: The Cornerstone of Atlético's Future

Julián Álvarez has established himself as the cornerstone of Atlético de Madrid, a key player in the team’s present and future. Simeone, who considers him essential, highlights his talent and leadership, showing the importance of making him feel happy and supported in the Rojiblancos project.

His arrival at Atlético gave him the affection and support he needed, making him the leader after Griezmann’s reduced role. The most prolific season of his career, with 29 goals, underscores his value, but his leadership, generosity, and ability to drive team growth are equally valuable.

Although Barça has him on their radar in the future, Atlético does not plan to enter salary auctions, maintaining its clear salary scale even for a player of his caliber. His commitment and performance at the Metropolitano make him the undisputed star of Atlético, a leader on the field, and a key player for future successes.

Romero, a complicated red and white desire

Atlético de Madrid has a great interest in strengthening their defense with the talented Cuti Romero. However, his signing is presented as a considerable challenge. The Tottenham coach considers Romero a key and irreplaceable piece within his sports project, which greatly hinders his departure.

To this is added the fame of the Tottenham president, Daniel Levy, as a tough negotiator. Despite the complications, at the Metropolitano they do not lose hope. They know that Cuti Romero’s own desire to join Simeone’s project plays in their favor.

The player has expressed his intention to change scenery and end his stage in the Premier League, which puts pressure on the English club. In addition, Atlético trusts in the good relationship between Gil Marín and Daniel Levy, the result of successful operations in the past, such as the transfers of Trippier, Doherty and Reguilón.

Although the negotiation seems arduous, the red and white board trusts that they can convince Tottenham and fulfill Simeone’s desire to have the world champion in their ranks. The Colchoneros fans eagerly await the arrival of Romero to strengthen the defense and face the challenges of the season with renewed hopes.

Reinildo, a pillar in Atlético’s defense, could be experiencing his last moments as a ‘rojiblanco’. Despite his unconditional commitment, the lack of a concrete renewal offer fuels rumors about his possible departure after his participation with the club in the US event.

His performance at the Metropolitano has not gone unnoticed, and interest in the Mozambican defender extends across the globe. Several clubs in the Spanish League have shown interest, although economic limitations could complicate his signing.
