Youth and Talent: The New Engine of Atlético
Atlético de Madrid is betting on youth to revitalize its midfield. Pablo Barrios, after his renewal until 2030, is consolidating himself as a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme. His evolution from La Academia to the first team is a testament to the talent emerging from the colchonera academy.
The potential arrival of Johnny Cardoso and Álex Baena is presented as a luxury reinforcement for the team. With advanced negotiations, both internationals would bring proven quality and experience in high-level matches.
Their youth, added to that of Barrios, would allow the rejuvenation of an area of the field that has suffered ups and downs in recent seasons. The incorporation of these players ensures a competitive level for the next few years.
Cardoso could be the long-awaited defensive midfielder that Simeone has been looking for since Thomas Partey’s departure, while Baena would bring creativity and precision in the final meters. The sports management, led by Carlos Bucero, seeks to rejuvenate the squad to face all competitions with guarantees.
With a solid base of young players, Atlético de Madrid is looking for a promising future. The potential synergy between Barrios and Baena, who already triumphed together in the Olympic Team, excites the rojiblanca fans.
