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.

Atlético goes all out in Gran Canaria

Atlético de Madrid faces UD Las Palmas with the imperative need to add three points to continue aspiring to LaLiga. With Barcelona leading the table and Real Madrid following closely, the ‘Colchoneros’ team cannot afford to fail.

Simeone recovers Rodrigo de Paul, Samu Lino and Correa, although it is not clear if they will be starters. One of the great unknowns is the possible substitution of Antoine Griezmann, who is not going through his best moment.

In his place, Alexander Sorloth could enter, after his good performance against Valladolid. Another probable change in the line-up would be the inclusion of Robin Le Normand in defense.

The rest of the team would remain, with Llorente and Galán on the flanks, Koke and Barrios in midfield, and Giuliano and Gallagher on the wings. UD Las Palmas comes to the match after a revitalizing victory against Getafe, although it is still in relegation places.

With the support of their fans, they will seek to surprise and move away from the red zone. Atlético, however, is the favorite and must prove it at the Gran Canaria Stadium to keep alive the hope of fighting for the title.
