Lucumí in Sight: Battle Between Atlético and Inter?

Atlético de Madrid continues to work on planning for next season, with sights set on reinforcing the central defense. Several names are on the Rojiblancos’ agenda, considering not only the footballing aspect but also economic possibilities and the players’ willingness to join the project.

One of the players who has aroused the most interest is Jhon Lucumí, Colombian central defender from Bologna, who has had an outstanding performance in Serie A. His versatility and youth make him a very attractive profile for the Colchoneros.

However, Atlético is not the only team interested in the defender. From Italy, it is reported that Inter Milan has also set its sights on Lucumí, seeing him as an ideal option to rejuvenate their defense. Inter would be willing to offer him a contract with a significant salary improvement.

Atlético de Madrid, aware of Inter’s interest, has been closely following Lucumí for months and evaluating the possibility of submitting an offer in the summer. His signing will not be easy, but the club is confident in convincing the player that Atlético’s project is the best for his future. The competition will be tough, but Atlético is willing to fight for this promising center-back. His market value is around 18 million euros, although it could be more affordable over time.

Atlético Madrid eyes luxury midfield reinforcements

Atlético de Madrid is already planning for next season, with the midfield as a priority to strengthen. Faced with the possible departure of Koke Resurrección and the need to add hierarchy to the midfield, the Rojiblancos have their sights set on two renowned players.

An old desire that resurfaces is Enzo Fernández, currently at Chelsea. The winks of the Argentine player, driven by the strong Argentine presence in the Colchoneros team, fuel the illusion of seeing him dressed in red and white.

However, his signing is presented as a complex task due to the high cost that would be involved in getting him out of the English club, where he arrived for a millionaire sum and has a contract until 2032.

Aware of the difficulty that the Enzo Fernández operation represents, Atlético de Madrid manages an interesting alternative: Rodrigo Bentancur, midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Uruguayan, with experience and a style of play that fits with the needs of the team, was already in the sights of Atlético in the past, when he played for Juventus. Now, at 27 years old and a contract until 2026, his signing could be more economically affordable. Atlético is confident that it can add a quality reinforcement to strengthen its midfield and face the next season with guarantees.

FIFA Club World Cup Impacts Atleti's League Start

Attention, Rojiblancos! Our Atleti’s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup could affect the 2025-2026 LaLiga season calendar. This international tournament, where our team will give their all in every match, may force a delay in the start of the domestic competition.

Negotiations between LaLiga and AFE are already underway to analyze this scenario, which also affects Real Madrid. The possible delay will depend on Atlético’s performance in the Club World Cup.

Reaching the quarterfinals would already imply an adjustment in preseason times, but reaching the semifinals or, even better, the grand final! would further delay the league start. AFE insists that Rojiblancos players must enjoy the mandatory 21 days of rest, as established by the collective agreement.

This means that if the team goes far in the tournament, the preseason would start later, with only a few days before the scheduled start of LaLiga. But don’t worry! LaLiga and AFE are already working to find the best solution so that our Atleti can face the season in the best possible conditions. We trust the team and their ability to overcome any obstacle! Aúpa Atleti!

Atlético: Partners, Passion That Rises

Atlético de Madrid is already looking to the future, with the 2025/2026 season on the horizon. Beyond sports planning, the club is also focusing its efforts on the social sphere, where it has a solid base of 60,874 season ticket holders and around 150,000 members.

A loyal fan base that is the engine of the team. The club has announced an adjustment in the membership fees for the next season. While the youth fee remains the same, those for alevines and benjamines will experience a slight increase.

As a counterpart, Atlético will increase the gift voucher for the official store, from 25 to 30 euros, a detail to reward the red and white loyalty. This update in fees is part of a policy of progressive adjustments since the inauguration of the Metropolitano in 2017.

In addition, the automatic renewal of fees has been established in mid-April, a measure implemented during the pandemic and which has been maintained as standard. The club justifies this advance because the sports seasons end at the end of May. Ultimately, Atlético continues to bet on its social mass, seeking a balance between the sustainability of the club and the recognition of the unconditional passion of its fans.

Joan Garcia: Future Between the Posts for Atlético?

Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Joan Garcia, the RCD Espanyol goalkeeper who is dazzling in the current season. Cholo Simeone sees Garcia as the ideal replacement for Oblak, recognizing his talent and potential to defend the Rojiblanca goal in the future.

Although there is no immediate urgency, the Colchonero club seeks to secure Garcia’s signing in the short term, anticipating competition from other major European clubs. Given that Atlético’s financial situation does not allow for large outlays, the board is exploring creative options to finalize the operation.

One of the possibilities being considered is to sign Joan Garcia this summer and loan him back to Espanyol for a season. This strategy would allow Atlético to secure the goalkeeper’s services without significantly affecting their coffers, while Espanyol would receive a significant financial injection and retain their star for another year.

Espanyol, for its part, remains firm in its position: it will only let Joan Garcia leave for the full value of his release clause. They know that the goalkeeper is their biggest asset and are not willing to undersell him.

The Catalan board seeks a solution that benefits both the player and the club. Joan Garcia is emerging as one of the most prominent names in the upcoming transfer market, and Atlético de Madrid could be his next destination.
