“Fenerbahce seeks loan of Cağlar Söyüncü”
Fenerbahce is interested in signing the Turkish defender from Atlético de Madrid, Cağlar Söyüncü, who is willing to leave in search of more playing time and the opportunity to be called up for Euro 2024.

“Barrios to undergo surgery”
Atlético de Madrid player, Pablo Barrios, will have to undergo surgery due to a knee problem. After consulting with various specialists, it was determined that surgery was the best solution for his recovery. This injury will keep the player out of the field for approximately two months.
Barrios had become a key player in Simeone’s team, being the first alternative to Koke in the midfield. He had also shown a great level both at Atlético and in the U-21 National Team.
With this absence, the Argentine coach will have to find solutions in the midfield, considering Saúl and Llorente as the natural alternatives. However, the possibility of signing a reinforcement in that position during the winter transfer window has also been mentioned. Atlético de Madrid is already evaluating options to strengthen their squad in this area of the field affected by injuries.

“Simeone seeks alternatives in the midfield without Barrios”
Atlético Madrid faces the absence of Pablo Barrios, who had become a key player in the midfield. The young player suffered an injury that will keep him out of the field for about two months. In light of this absence, coach Diego Simeone will have to find alternatives to replace him.
Koke and De Paul are fixed in the midfield, but their companion is yet to be determined. Saúl has lost prominence, but remains a valid option. Additionally, Simeone also has players like Llorente, Griezmann, Correa, Riquelme, and Lino to reinforce the midfield. Barrios’ injury could accelerate the search for a reinforcement in January.
