Despite the difficulty in LaLiga, the Rojiblancos fans remain hopeful and trust the team to face the upcoming challenges. The club is now focused on consolidating its position and planning for the future, with an eye on upcoming competitions.

Atlético on the trail of Cuti Romero

Defense is shaping up as a priority area to strengthen for Atlético de Madrid next season. With the potential departures of Witsel and Azpilicueta, in addition to Reinildo’s expiring contract and Lenglet’s situation, the Colchoneros’ management is exploring options to shore up the defense.

The name that resonates strongly is that of Argentine central defender Cuti Romero, currently at Tottenham. The 26-year-old defender is reportedly considering a change of scenery, and Atlético is keeping a close eye on his situation.

Although he has a contract until 2027, Tottenham may be willing to negotiate, aware of the player’s desire. However, his status as a world champion means they will not facilitate his departure.

According to the Daily Mail, Atlético would be willing to offer up to 55 million euros for the Argentine international, a figure that, according to sources close to the club, is not intended to be reached.

Sky Sports Italia, for its part, points to a release price of 75 million euros, considered prohibitive from the Metropolitano. The player’s desire could be key for Tottenham to lower its demands. Cuti Romero has recently expressed his frustration with the lack of sporting ambition at his current club, which could influence his final decision and benefit Atlético’s aspirations.

Atlético-Rayo: A Refereeing with Precedents

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host Rayo Vallecano at the Metropolitano in a crucial match of matchday 33. The referee appointment has caused some stir among the rojiblanca fans.

Pablo González Fuertes will be in charge of refereeing the match, a referee whose record with Atlético presents a bittersweet balance: eight wins, two draws and three losses in 13 matches. In particular, the last two experiences were not positive, with defeats against Osasuna and Cádiz last season.

The colchoneros fans hope that this statistic will not be repeated and that the team can add three vital points at home. The presence of Jesús Gil Manzano in the VAR also does not go unnoticed.

His history with the rojiblanco club is marked by controversial decisions that have left an indelible mark on the memory of the fans. Despite these precedents, Atlético is confident in their game and in the support of their fans to beat Rayo and continue adding in LaLiga.

Pope Francis' Legacy in the Calderón's Farewell

The passing of Pope Francis, a renowned football fan and supporter of San Lorenzo, reminds us of his special connection with Atlético de Madrid and his crucial role in the last match played at the beloved Vicente Calderón.

On May 28, 2017, the stadium opened its doors for the last time to host the ‘Final de Leyenda,’ a charity match that brought together legends of Atlético and world stars, bidding farewell to 50 years of Rojiblanca history.

The initiative, promoted by Pope Francis, allocated the proceeds to the Scholas Occurrentes network, supporting the integration of disadvantaged children in 190 countries.

That afternoon, the stadium vibrated with the presence of figures like Ronaldinho, who kissed the pitch as a sign of respect, and Gabi, who planted the Olive Tree of Peace alongside the Brazilian. The match ended with an exciting 4-5, with goals from Fernando Torres and other Rojiblancos players.

Prior to the match, tribute was paid to the champion youth teams, and the players of the ‘Final de Leyenda’ were cheered by the fans. Members of the BRIPAC descended with commemorative flags, while the Patrulla Águila colored the sky with the colors of Atlético. After the final whistle, the players took a lap of honor, culminating in a historic photo that immortalized the emotional farewell to the Calderón, thanks to the initiative of Pope Francis.

Atleti: All in at the Metropolitano

Atlético de Madrid has returned to work in Majadahonda after the defeat in Gran Canaria, focusing on securing third place and fighting for second position in LaLiga. The team, aware of the difficulty of catching the leader, Barcelona, ​​is focusing on the next challenges, starting with the home game against Rayo Vallecano.

Oblak: Aiming for a Historic Zamora

Our Jan Oblak is fighting tooth and nail to make history! The Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper, after a season full of effort, seeks to conquer his sixth Zamora Trophy, a milestone that would consecrate him as the most decorated goalkeeper in the history of LaLiga, surpassing legends such as Antoni Ramallets and Víctor Valdés.

Oblak has already exceeded the minimum of 28 games played, an indispensable requirement to be eligible for the award, and although his current coefficient is 0.87 after conceding 27 goals in 31 games, the competition is fierce.

David Soria and, especially, Thibaut Courtois, are hot on his heels in this exciting battle for the Zamora. Oblak’s start to the season was simply spectacular, with a coefficient of 0.66 after conceding only 12 goals in the first 19 games.

However, the team’s recent performance has influenced the number of goals received, slightly complicating his path to the record. Despite this, we trust in the quality and determination of our goalkeeper to achieve this historic sixth Zamora! Come on, Jan, keep defending our goal with passion and make history at the Metropolitano!

Musso: Farewell to the Metropolitano?

Atlético de Madrid is already planning for next season, and one of the key decisions is the backup goalkeeper position. Juan Musso, on loan from Atalanta, seemed like a viable option, but his continuity is up in the air.

The club values his performance, although the scale leans towards not executing the purchase option set at seven million euros. This figure is considered high for a secondary role, prioritizing investment in positions more in need of reinforcement.

According to sources close to the club, the possibility of Musso continuing depends exclusively on a free transfer. Atlético is not willing to pay a transfer fee for a backup goalkeeper, seeking an economical alternative to complement Jan Oblak.

The current situation leaves the final decision on the Argentine goalkeeper’s future in the hands of Atalanta, who could say goodbye to the Metropolitano at the end of his loan in June. The Colchoneros prioritize financial balance and will allocate most of their budget to signings that strengthen the starting squad.

The backup goalkeeper position is one that will be covered efficiently, looking for a profile that adapts to the team’s needs without compromising the club’s coffers. The Rojiblancos fans expect a solution that guarantees security in goal without affecting the overall transfer strategy.

In addition, Castillo is an Under-19 international, which further underlines his potential. With his vision of the game and skills, Castillo is shaping up to be one of the future references of the ‘colchonero’ midfield, following in the footsteps of emblematic players. We are eager to see him shine at the Metropolitano!
