Atlético: Correa and Riquelme, a strategic goodbye?
Important movements are shaping up at the Metropolitano in the departure operation, with the names of Correa and Riquelme at the center of the stage. Two different situations, but with a common goal: to raise funds to strengthen the team.
Correa, after ten seasons of total dedication, faces a crossroads: sale or renewal. Everything indicates that his cycle has come to an end and, after several failed attempts to leave in the past, the club is now looking for a beneficial agreement for both parties.
Recall that teams such as Milan and Al Ittihad showed interest in the Argentine, although without completing a transfer. Now, the management is looking for a fair price for his services, recognizing his value and trajectory.
On the other hand, Riquelme, a player much loved at the club, could leave in search of more minutes. After rejecting loan and sale offers in the past, Atlético is now considering using him as a bargaining chip in future operations.
His good reputation in Spain and Europe makes him a valuable piece to lower the price of other targets. The club is aware of his potential and wants to find the best solution for all parties. In addition, the future of Galán is also up in the air.
With his contract about to expire, Atlético is considering his departure to free up space and obtain additional income. Although his market value is lower than that of Correa and Riquelme, his sale could contribute to the restructuring of the squad. In short, Atlético is preparing for a summer of changes and strategic decisions to continue competing at the highest level.
