“Saúl vies to face Barcelona”

In the Atlético de Madrid’s general rehearsal for the match against Barcelona, Saúl and Lino are emerging as possible starters instead of Llorente and Riquelme. Saúl has shown good performance in the tests alongside Koke and De Paul, giving him an advantage to occupy one of the positions in the midfield.

On the other hand, Lino could regain his starting position on the left flank, while Riquelme would be an option for the second half. The rest of the team remains unchanged, with Oblak in goal, Molina on the right flank, Witsel, Giménez, and Hermoso as center-backs, and Griezmann and Morata up front.

Additionally, two academy players, Riquelme and Pablo Barrios, have shown their quality and gained prominence in the first team. With these players, Atlético is experiencing a great moment in all areas of the field.

“Atlético says goodbye to the number 5”

Atlético de Madrid has decided to close the chapter of signings for the number 5 position. Despite pursuing players like Verratti or Hojbjerg throughout the summer, the lack of economic income has been decisive for the director of football, Andrea Berta, not being able to reinforce that position.

According to the roadmap outlined by Gil Marín and Simeone, it was necessary for at least two departures to increase the club’s economic muscle, but this has not happened. Faced with this situation, Atlético has decided to bet on the growth of a youth academy player, Barrios, who has surprisingly become the number 5.

“Low cost defense for Atlético”

Atlético de Madrid has closed its defense with low-cost signings. It started in 2023 with the acquisition of Soyuncu, who reached the end of his contract with Leicester. Now Azpilicueta has joined, who will leave Chelsea for free despite having one more year on his contract.

These quick moves have strengthened a line that suffered heavy casualties. In addition, two new signings are expected in the coming days, among them Santiago Mouriño, a bet for the future. It has also been revealed that 5 million euros will be paid for Javi Galán, this being the most expensive signing.
