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.
