Atlético de Madrid wants to realize one of Diego Pablo Simeone's great aspirations: to build an elite defense for the upcoming season. With this goal in mind, the red-and-white club has set its sights on two players who could fit perfectly into its scheme: Álvaro Carreras, left-back of Benfica, and Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, center-back of Tottenham. The Argentine coach's intention is to form a top-level defensive line with Nahuel Molina on the right, Carreras on the left, and a central pair consisting of Romero and José María Giménez.

Romero's signing is a priority to strengthen the heart of the defense, especially given the possible departure of César Azpilicueta. The world champion with Argentina is a defender of character, with great anticipation and solidity in aerial play, features that Simeone values in a center-back. However, the operation will not be simple, as Tottenham has no intention of easily parting ways with one of its defensive pillars. Atlético is confident that a convincing offer could pave the way for negotiations in the upcoming summer transfer window.

On the other hand, Carreras' addition also responds to the need to strengthen the full-backs, an area where the team has faced difficulties in recent years. At 21 years old, the Benfica player has shown to be a promising and versatile footballer, qualities that have caught the attention of the Atleti scouts. His signing would provide Simeone with more options to reinforce the left flank, especially considering the team's struggles in that position due to constant injuries and lack of depth in the squad.

Diego Pablo Simeone's Dream Defense

Atlético de Madrid's strategy not only aims to reinforce the defense with experienced players like Romero but also to bet on the future with talents like Carreras. The plan is to close both deals as soon as possible so that the players can join in the summer and quickly adapt to the team's philosophy. Simeone, who has always prioritized tactical order and defensive solidity, believes that these signings can be key to raising the team's competitive level and staying in the title race. Now, the Atlético board has the task of turning these desires into reality and making Atlético a tough defensive wall to overcome.
