La Liga
Atlético de Madrid does not stop in the market. After making the signing of Thiago Almada official, the red and white club has defined its next priorities: reinforce the center of the defense with a top-level signing and finalize the arrival of Ademola Lookman to complete a luxury attack. Diego Simeone wants a team that competes for everything, and the sports management is already working to meet the Argentine coach's latest demands.
The arrival of a top-notch center-back is the most urgent move in Atlético's planning. Atlético is considering two options that excite the coaching staff: Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, a current standout at Tottenham, and Piero Hincapié, a defensive pillar from Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga champion. Both profiles are liked for their ability to lead the defense and their international projection, although it will not be an easy operation given the relevance they have in their respective clubs.
Atlético de Madrid keeps going and aims for Ademola Lookman
On the other hand, Ademola Lookman's signing represents the finishing touch for an already intimidating offensive line on paper. The 27-year-old Nigerian, currently playing for Atalanta with a contract until 2027, is valued at around 40 million euros. His imbalance, speed, and goal-scoring ability make him an ideal complement for the forward line led by Julián Álvarez, Alexander Sorloth, Giuliano Simeone, and Antoine Griezmann.
With the imminent arrival of Johnny Cardoso, Atlético has already strengthened the midfield, but Simeone wants more. The intention is to build a solid squad in all lines to compete securely in both LaLiga and the Champions League. If they manage to close these two deals, 'Cholo' could have one of the most complete squads in all of Europe.
