Puado in Atlético's sights: Market opportunity
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Javi Puado, Espanyol’s striker whose contract ends next June 30. The player, who has not yet renewed with the Perico club, is valued by the Rojiblanca sports management as a possible market opportunity to strengthen the attack.
Although not an absolute priority at this time, the club is attentive to his situation, especially given possible movements in the squad, such as Correa’s situation. Puado, Espanyol’s top scorer with ten goals in the League, is a player with a lot of poster and suitors, including Sevilla and Premier League clubs.
Atlético already knows his conditions and has him monitored, aware of his potential and that he would arrive at zero cost. It is known that the sports management, headed by Carlos Bucero, is planning the next season, and the arrival of reinforcements will be conditional on the departures that occur.
The club needs to reinforce several positions, including the defense and midfield, but the attack is a priority, especially if there are important casualties such as Griezmann or Correa.
In this context, the figure of Puado emerges as an interesting option, a player with a present and future who could contribute a lot to the Rojiblanco team. Although he is not considered a first sword, his profile fits with the club’s philosophy and his arrival at zero cost would be a great opportunity for Atlético.
