Atlético: Renewal with Experience for a Bright Future
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a generational transition that will combine youth and experience in the next two seasons. The club’s management is clear that the team’s foundation is solid, but it is necessary to strengthen certain strategic positions.
Veteran players such as Azpilicueta and Witsel are out of contract, while the future of Griezmann and Koke will be decided in conversations with both players. The continuity of loanees Musso and Lenglet will also be evaluated, with good feelings about their performance.
Lemar’s situation, after his serious injury, is also on the table. The main idea is to avoid a radical renewal and maintain a balance between young talents such as Giuliano, Barrios, or Julián Alvarez, and established leaders such as Oblak, Giménez, Marcos Llorente, and De Paul.
Witsel and Azpilicueta are expected to leave the club, while Reinildo’s future is under evaluation, although his recovery has been positive. Atlético is satisfied with the performance of Musso and Lenglet. Barcelona is not expected to hinder the defender’s continuity.
The sports management, led by Carlos Bucero, is betting on a gradual renewal, incorporating young promises hungry for triumph and quality, in addition to the reinforcements already made last summer. Another summer market with movements is coming, but with the calm and planning that characterize the Colchoneros club.
