Atlético de Madrid is focusing on improving its left flank, one of the weakest areas in its defense this season. In the search for a reliable left-back, the club has identified Mathías Olivera as a prominent option.

The Uruguayan, currently playing for Napoli, has shown solid performances in recent years, both defensively and offensively. With a contract linking him to the Italian side until 2030, his transfer fee will not be less than 30 million euros, a figure that Atlético would be willing to consider to secure the arrival of a specialist in that position.

Mathías Oliveira, a new option for Atlético de Madrid

The interest in Olivera comes after a season where Atlético de Madrid has not met expectations in domestic and international competitions. Despite having players like Javi Galán, Reinildo, and Samu Lino for the left side, none have fully convinced Diego Pablo Simeone, who is looking in the market for a left-back with stronger defensive solidity and attacking capability. In this regard, Olivera's profile fits perfectly into the plans of the Argentine coach. His experience in La Liga with Getafe and his versatility are advantageous points that have placed him on the priority list of the red-and-white club.

In addition to the potential arrival of Olivera, Atlético is eyeing other reinforcements for various positions, including Cristian Romero (Tottenham) and Álex Baena (Villarreal), but the addition of a high-level left-back seems to be a key piece for the squad's remodeling ahead of the next season.
