Atletico Madrid's top priority in the upcoming winter transfer market is to strengthen their defensive line, and one of Diego Simeone's favorite names is Isak Hien, the current center-back of Atalanta. The 25-year-old Swede has become a key player for the Italian team due to his solidity, game reading abilities, and capacity to adapt to different defensive schemes, qualities that perfectly fit the Argentine coach's style.

However, the operation will not be easy. Atalanta considers Hien an essential player in their setup, especially after a season start where he has been fundamental in maintaining the team's competitiveness in Serie A and European competitions. From Bergamo, they are not willing to let the player go in January as losing a key figure mid-season would compromise their goals.

Atalanta is reluctant to release Isak Hien in the middle of the season

Atletico, on the other hand, aims to convince the Italian team with an attractive offer, but negotiations could extend into next summer if Atalanta does not give in. Simeone values Hien highly and sees him as a reinforcement for the future that could bring stability to a defense that has had ups and downs in recent seasons.

The determination of Atletico will be crucial, but everything indicates that Hien's arrival at the Metropolitano will have to wait. For now, the Swedish center-back will continue shining with Atalanta while the red and whites work on sealing the deal.
