Atlético Madrid seeks a 5 to compete in all competitions
Carlos Bucero, the general manager of football at Atlético Madrid, is focused on signing a positional midfielder with immediate performance in the remaining week of the transfer market.
Although the Atlético Madrid squad is of high quality, with players such as Julián Alvarez, Le Normand, Sorloth, Gallagher, and Musso, the team is looking to strengthen the position of a positional midfielder, a 5.
Carlos Bucero is pushing the deadline until next Monday, February 3, with the intention of finding that type of midfielder that has been resisting in the last markets.
The demand to compete in the Champions League, LaLiga, and the Copa invites finding a midfielder who combines tactical sense and creative ability and can serve as a reliable backup.
Carlos Bucero already has a couple of options on his table, and there is moderate optimism that this week the signing of another midfielder who contributes to the objective of trying to compete in all competitions can be channeled. A departure for Lemar is also being attempted, whose role in the squad is completely residual since he tore his Achilles tendon a year and four months ago.
