Atlético de Madrid has invested 175 million euros in fixed amounts in this summer's current transfer market, but Diego Pablo Simeone has a new requirement: a dribbling winger.

Cholo has requested from the Atlético board, as reported by journalist Rúben Uría, that he wants one more wing attacker to complete a luxurious attack aiming to win LaLiga next season.

Simeone's plan: empowering Julián Álvarez

The Argentine coach's priority is to surround Julián Álvarez in the best possible way, who has emerged as the main offensive reference of the team. The Argentine shone last season with impressive goal and assist numbers, and Simeone wants him to have more partners who can capitalize on his vision and movements.

A disruptive winger would help create space and generate more attacking options, providing tactical variations both in open matches and those where the opponent defends deep.

Lookman, the preferred yet challenging option

The first name on the list was Ademola Lookman, a Nigerian winger from Atalanta. His speed, dribbling ability, and capacity to play on both flanks fit perfectly into the profile sought by Simeone.

However, the deal has cooled off as the Italian club demands 50 million euros for his transfer, a sum that Atlético de Madrid considers excessive following their significant spending this summer.

The reality is that, after investing in nine new additions, the club's financial margin is limited. The sporting direction is exploring options such as loan deals with purchase options or medium-term signings to meet Simeone's request without compromising financial balance.

On a sporting level, the challenge is to find a player willing to compete for the position and adapt quickly to the team's style, where defensive commitment and intensity are non-negotiable.

Atlético de Madrid aims to build a dream attack

With Baena and Almada bringing creativity, and Raspadori as a versatile offensive option, the team has resources in attack. Nevertheless, none possess the natural flair and ability to break lines that Simeone deems essential to face a season in which Atlético de Madrid will compete in Liga, Copa, and Champions.

Rotation on the right flank, especially for demanding matches, would now depend on Giuliano Simeone, and the coach aims to prevent overburdening the young forward.

In previous seasons, Atlético de Madrid has missed players capable of creating chaos in the final stages of matches. Footballers like Yannick Carrasco fulfilled that role in the past, and the absence of a natural replacement has been evident in games where the team dominated but struggled to break the scoreline.

The signing of a dribbling winger would not only strengthen the squad but also add unpredictability to the red and white attack, a factor that can make a difference in European knockout ties and crucial Liga matches.

The transfer market remains open, and Atlético de Madrid is working to fulfill Simeone's latest request. Although the priority is to find a profile like Lookman's, the sporting direction does not rule out alternatives that may come under more favorable conditions.

If they manage to secure this signing, the colchonero team will be a clear candidate to win LaLiga this season and will once again have the means to break their curse in the UEFA Champions League, where they will surely be competing for the title until the end.
