Atlético de Madrid is working against the clock in planning for the new campaign while Diego Simeone finalizes his vacation by following Argentina's matches in the 2026 World Cup. With the return to training just around the corner, football director Mateu Alemany has taken complete control of negotiations at the club's offices. The Atlético transfer market is focused on several key departures.

The Balearic executive has already secured the addition of South Korean Kang-In Lee and is steadily progressing towards closing the signing of the Dane Morten Hjulmand, laying the groundwork for a profound restructuring in Simeone's squad.

Atlético de Madrid aims to close 4 sales this summer

New acquisitions directly lead to commercial departures to balance the club's financial books. The club's top brass has set a strict net spending limit of 80 million euros for this summer period. In order to offset this massive expenditure without jeopardizing the departure of their star Julián Álvarez, Marca newspaper points to the exit of four key players: Thiago Almada, Alexander Sorloth, José María Giménez, and Matteo Ruggeri, who will generate profits and free up wages.

The transfer that is further along in bureaucratic management is that of the 25-year-old Argentine playmaker. The world champion attacking midfielder is on the verge of returning to his native country's football to don the River Plate jersey. The economic agreement between the clubs is valued at a fixed 20 million euros, representing 50% of the player's federative rights that the Madrid-based team held, ensuring a future profit in case of another sale.

Premier League and Serie A Offers for Alexander Sorloth and Matteo Ruggeri

Diego Simeone's attacking lineup and wings will undergo drastic changes due to the high demand for his players across Europe. Norwegian forward Alexander Sorloth has become the prime target for Juventus in Turin and several financially strong Premier League clubs. Atlético de Madrid's technical department is confident in recouping the initial investment made in the Nordic striker, capitalizing on the international bidding frenzy set in English boardrooms ahead of the season kickoff.

Simultaneously, Italian left-back Matteo Ruggeri has received lucrative offers to return to Serie A. The 23-year-old defender, who arrived in the Spanish capital to strengthen the defensive line, has not fully cemented his place in the team's tactical schemes. His departure will free up a significant wage bill that will facilitate the registration of new signings agreed upon by Alemany in this eventful month of July.

The Future of José María Giménez

The dossier of Uruguayan center-back José María Giménez represents the deepest dilemma for the Madrid squad's sports committee. At 31 years old and after over a decade defending the club crest, his frequent physical injuries and the high annual salary pose challenges to his undisputed status. The board is reviewing offers from exotic leagues and the European elite to finalize a permanent transfer that significantly refreshes the club's financial budgets.

Swiftly handling these bureaucratic matters will be crucial for the football director to secure the banking guarantees required by LaLiga's economic control entities. Simeone is monitoring the developments from afar, aware that the final squad will demand painful sacrifices to maintain competitiveness. With negotiations for the South Korean and Danish players well underway, Atlético de Madrid will push for the departure of its surplus players to solidify a balanced squad with full financial guarantees to challenge for domestic and international titles in the upcoming season.
