Atlético: Romero drives strategic movements
The potential arrival of Argentine defender Cuti Romero at Atlético de Madrid generates optimism among the fans, but also implies strategic adjustments in the squad. The club’s interest in Romero, a world-class player, underscores Atlético’s ambition to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season.
However, his non-EU status requires the release of a spot currently occupied by Lino, Molina, or Gallagher. Although Lino is emerging as the player with the greatest sales potential to balance the finances after a possible investment in signings, the final decision will depend on the offers received.
The club will seek a suitable replacement for the Brazilian if his departure materializes. Molina, a player trusted by Simeone, could be considered in the event of an offer close to 30 million, especially with Llorente as a consolidated alternative at right-back.
Gallagher, meanwhile, is a key player in the coach’s plans for next season. However, the club would be willing to evaluate exceptional offers for him, considering the investment made in his signing last summer. In short, Romero’s arrival could trigger a series of calculated moves at the Metropolitano, seeking to optimize the squad and maintain the team’s competitiveness.
