Atletico Madrid has closed the signing of Juan Musso on loan, with a purchase option set at 7 million euros. The deal, confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, will include an initial payment of 1.5 million for the loan of the 30-year-old Argentine goalkeeper, who is arriving from Atalanta.
Musso's arrival addresses Atletico's need for a goalkeeper capable of supporting Jan Oblak, who has been instrumental for the team but has shown some inconsistencies recently. Finding a suitable replacement for Oblak has been a priority for Diego Simeone, who trusts that Musso can contribute his experience and solidity in goal.
