Colchonero Scouting in the Canary Islands: Three Names in Sight

Atlético de Madrid has its sights set on Las Palmas, where they will face off this Saturday in a key match. Beyond the result, the Rojiblancos have three young talents from the Canarian team on their radar: Fabio Silva, Mika Marmol, and Alberto Moleiro.

Fabio Silva, a striker on loan from Wolverhampton, has dazzled this season with 10 goals and 3 assists in 24 matches. His performance has not gone unnoticed by Diego Pablo Simeone, who has praised his dedication and physical ability.

Fabio himself has acknowledged Atlético’s appeal, although he remains focused on his present at Las Palmas. But Fabio is not the only player that interests Atlético. Mika Marmol, a 23-year-old centre-back with good ball-playing skills and the ability to play as a left-back, is also in the Colchonero orbit.

His versatility and youth make him an interesting option to strengthen the defense. Completing the list is Alberto Moleiro, a 21-year-old attacking midfielder who can play on either wing. With six goals and one assist in 30 matches, Moleiro stands out for his flair and game vision.

His youth and projection make him an attractive target for Atlético, who are looking to rejuvenate their squad. Thus, Simeone will have the opportunity to closely evaluate these three promising Las Palmas players, who could strengthen Atlético in the future. The Metropolitano could be the next destination for some of these talents.

Griezmann: Uncertainty and Future at Atlético

The French press is closely following Antoine Griezmann’s situation at Atlético de Madrid. After weeks of talks about a possible agreement for his continuity, the situation does not seem so clear.

The newspaper ‘L’Equipe’ highlights the uncertainty surrounding the striker’s future, pointing to his recent performance, with several games without scoring or assisting, which raises questions about his role in the team.

With his contract about to end, the Atlético board awaits a response from Griezmann on the proposal to renew until 2027. This renewal would imply a reduction in his salary, dividing his current eight million net into four per season.

Although his departure would free up a significant sum for the club, Griezmann’s permanence is considered valuable, especially after the renewal of Koke, a close friend of the Frenchman.

‘L’Equipe’ raises the question of whether a possible substitution of Griezmann in the match against Las Palmas is due to a pressure strategy in the midst of negotiations or a tactical decision by ‘Cholo’ Simeone. The newspaper leans more towards the second option. Despite the uncertainty, the club remains somewhat optimistic about the possibility of Griezmann accepting the renewal, following Koke’s example and establishing himself as a rojiblanca legend. His continuity would be an important boost for Atlético’s sporting project at the Metropolitano.

Sorloth at the Forefront: The New Era of the Red and White Attack?

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match against Las Palmas, with Alexander Sorloth shaping up as a starter. Cholo Simeone’s decision to place the Norwegian ahead of Griezmann reflects the confidence placed in his goal-scoring instinct, especially after the start of 2025 where the Frenchman hasn’t found his best form.

Despite being a usual revulsive from the bench, Sorloth has proven to be a lethal ‘Hitman’, adding 16 goals: 12 in La Liga and 4 in Copa del Rey, tied with Griezmann and only surpassed by Julián Álvarez.

The starting position is a deserved reward for the Norwegian, although his initial numbers as a starter show a lower scoring average, with 5 goals in 15 games. He scored against Villarreal, a double against Leganés at the Metropolitano, and another double against Elche in Copa.

In the last matches where he started, against Athletic and Espanyol, he failed to penetrate the rival net. Now, Sorloth has the opportunity to consolidate himself in the starting eleven, relegating Griezmann to a secondary role.

Cholo seems willing to bet on Sorloth’s offensive power, as long as the striker proves his worth on the field. The Red and White fans eagerly await to see if this new tactical bet will bear fruit and Atlético’s attack finds a new dimension.

Koke and Barrios: The Colchoneros Connection That Drives Atleti

Although Koke Resurrección is no longer a permanent fixture in the starting eleven, his importance to Atlético de Madrid is undeniable. His experience and hierarchy are fundamental to the growth of young talents like Pablo Barrios, who has directly benefited from the presence of the Rojiblanco captain.

In recent matches, the Koke-Barrios partnership has paid off. Koke’s more positional and tactical work allows Barrios to display his arrival in the area and his powerful shot, qualities he already exhibited in the lower categories.

With Koke in the center of the field, Barrios has more freedom to join the attack, generating constant danger in the opponent’s goal. It is no coincidence that, with Koke by his side, Barrios has been key in the victory against Sevilla with a goal, and an assist against Valladolid.

Against the Pucela team, Barrios stepped into the area more frequently, creating numerous dangerous chances and actively participating in the decisive zone. With one goal and three assists this season, Barrios is consolidating himself as a fundamental piece in Cholo Simeone’s scheme. At 21 years old and close to reaching 100 games with Atlético, the youth player takes full advantage of the synergy with Koke to exploit his most offensive facet and become a decisive player for Atleti’s future.

Barrenechea: The '5' Atlético Needs?

Atlético de Madrid is looking to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season, an explicit request from Diego Pablo Simeone. In this context, the name of Enzo Barrenechea, a young Argentine midfielder, has emerged as an interesting option.

Currently on loan at Valencia from Aston Villa, Barrenechea has become a key player for his team. According to sources in Valencia, Atlético has shown formal interest in the player’s situation. His youth, his adaptation to LaLiga, and his growth potential are factors that play in his favor.

However, his status as a non-EU player could be an obstacle. Despite Atlético’s interest, other LaLiga clubs such as Villarreal, Betis, and Mallorca have also shown interest in the player. In addition, Aston Villa, the club he belongs to, wants to evaluate him during the preseason.

Although his future is uncertain, Valencia hopes to be able to count on him through a new loan. Barrenechea joins a list of candidates for the defensive midfielder position that Atlético is managing.

His profile fits what Simeone is looking for: a young player with projection and who can bring balance to the team. The Metropolitano continues to explore options, considering both the advantages and limitations of each candidate, to strengthen the Rojiblancos’ midfield.

Atlético: Surprises in the Starting Eleven against Las Palmas

Atlético de Madrid prepares for its visit to Las Palmas with a starting eleven that promises surprises. Diego Pablo Simeone, true to his style, could introduce interesting tactical changes in search of a key victory.

The main novelty in attack would be the possible starting position of Alexander Sorloth, relegating Antoine Griezmann to the bench, a decision that will undoubtedly generate debate among the Colchoneros fans.

In defense, Robin Le Normand could have the opportunity to establish himself in the team, replacing José María Giménez and forming a partnership with Lenglet in the center of the back.

In midfield, the solidity of Koke and the energy of Pablo Barrios seem untouchable, while Marcos Llorente and Javi Galán would provide depth and journey along the wings. Giuliano Simeone and Conor Gallagher would be in charge of overflowing and generating danger from the wings.

Under the three sticks, the security of Jan Oblak is a guarantee. Accompanying Sorloth in the attack, Julián Álvarez will seek to associate and exploit his speed and goalscoring instinct.

With these adjustments, Cholo seeks to revitalize the team and secure the three points in a match that is presented as an important challenge. The rojiblanca fans trust in the team’s ability to adapt and overcome adversity, demonstrating once again the fighting spirit that characterizes Atlético de Madrid.
