Atlético on the radar of Moleiro and Riquelme

2025-05-28 Diario As

Villarreal is preparing for the future by anticipating the possible arrival of Baena at Atlético. Faced with this eventuality, the yellow club is considering strategies to strengthen its squad, inspired by the successful formula used after Sorloth’s departure: a two-for-one.

Instead of looking for a direct replacement for Baena, Villarreal aims to sign two players who, combined, can match his performance. The names that resonate strongly in Villarreal’s offices are Alberto Moleiro and Rodrigo Riquelme.

Moleiro, a key piece in Las Palmas, awakens the interest of Villarreal, although his signing will not be easy. The player looks favorably on joining a Champions League project, which could facilitate negotiations.

On the other hand, Riquelme’s situation is different, as his club would be willing to negotiate his transfer to Villarreal. Villarreal values Riquelme highly, but wants his possible incorporation not to be linked to the Baena operation. Currently, the club is working on both fronts with the hope of reaching a satisfactory agreement.
