Areso in sight: Heading to the Metropolitano?
Atlético de Madrid continues to seek reinforcements to bolster their defense, and Jesús Areso, a right-back, has emerged as an interesting option. Although Athletic Club is also interested in the player, Cholo Simeone has expressed his need for a reliable full-back, as the position has been covered by players like Marcos Llorente, originally a midfielder.
Areso, due to his price and projection, fits the profile sought by the rojiblanco coach. Atlético is considering paying the player’s release clause to incorporate him into their ranks.
The competition from Athletic is strong, especially with their participation in the Champions League, which requires them to strengthen the squad. The Bilbao club has already shown interest in other players for next season.
Despite this, Atlético could pull off a surprise and secure Areso’s services, adding a valuable asset to the right-back position and providing more tactical options for the team.
The rojiblanca board is determined to support Simeone with signings that raise the competitive level of the team and allow them to face the season’s challenges with guarantees. We will be watching closely in the coming weeks to see if Areso will wear rojiblanco at the Metropolitano. The colchoneros fans eagerly await the arrival of reinforcements that strengthen the team and allow them to continue fighting for their goals.
