Miguel Gutiérrez: A Future 'Colchonero' at Left-Back?
Atlético de Madrid is closely following the performance of Miguel Gutiérrez, Girona’s left-back, who is emerging as one of the candidates to strengthen the ‘Rojiblanca’ defense next season.
The player, who has been an undisputed starter in the ‘Gerundense’ team since the 22-23 season, is well known to Diego Pablo Simeone. However, a recent ankle injury has kept him away from the pitch, preventing him from participating in Girona’s recent matches.
Gutiérrez, 23, has established himself as a key player in Girona’s scheme, demonstrating his quality and potential. Atlético de Madrid has shown interest in signing him, along with other names such as Carreras or Grimaldo, although the latter seems to have more options.
Gutiérrez’s price could exceed 35 million euros and he has a contract with Girona until 2027. In addition to ‘Colchonero’ interest, Italian clubs have also set their sights on him. However, Real Madrid owns 50% of his rights and a right of first refusal, which could complicate his arrival at the Metropolitano. Atlético’s sports management values his versatility and ability to adapt to the team’s style of play, qualities that make him a priority target for the next transfer market.
