Atlético de Madrid is already negotiating its first signing

Atlético de Madrid has intensified contacts to secure the services of Cristhian Mosquera, one of the standout defensive sensations in LaLiga. The young center-back, developed in Valencia's academy, has attracted interest from several European clubs, but it is Diego Simeone's team that is pushing the hardest for him. The Argentine coach views him as an ideal addition to strengthen his defense for the upcoming season.

Mosquera, whose contract expires in 2026, has become a key piece in Carlos Corberán's system. At only 19 years old, he stands out for his tactical maturity, physical power, and one-on-one security, qualities that have not gone unnoticed at the Metropolitano. Within Valencia's club, they are aware of the player's potential, and although his initial release clause was set at 100 million, an agreement has been reached to lower it to facilitate a possible departure.

He won't leave for less than 25 million euros

Currently, Valencia has valued Mosquera at around 25 million euros. The club's management believes that if a renewal agreement with more favorable conditions for the club is not reached, this summer will be the key moment to cash in on the defender.

Atlético de Madrid had previously explored his signing in past transfer windows, but now they are determined to finalize his transfer. Also on the colchonero's radar is Cristian Romero, although Mosquera fits better into the young and promising profile that the red-and-white club is seeking.
