The Atlético de Madrid was one of the main protagonists during the last weeks of the transfer market. Although Cholo Simeone's team managed to secure important reinforcements like Conor Gallagher, Alexander Sorloth, Robin Le Normand, and the Argentine star Julián Álvarez, there were some last-minute signings that were close to happening but ultimately did not.

Among the names considered by the club's sports management, two would have been true bombshells due to the importance and quality of the players. Both footballers are considered some of the best midfielders in recent years and have shared successes with the French national team, with which they have won important titles. We are talking about N'Golo Kanté and Adrien Rabiot.

Kanté and Rabiot on Atleti's radar

N'Golo Kanté, currently at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, was a great dream for Atlético's coaching staff. The Arabian club initially asked for €20 million for his transfer, a figure that was later reduced to €15 million. Despite the efforts of the player, who was willing to significantly reduce his €14 million net salary, the deal did not materialize. At 33 years old, Kanté continues to be considered one of the best midfielders in the world thanks to his tireless physical effort and his ability to break lines, which would have made him a luxury signing for the rojiblanco squad.

On the other hand, Rabiot, 29, was also in Atlético's sights. The French midfielder, who was left without a team after not renewing with Juventus, was seen as a real option at the Metropolitano offices. However, just like in Kanté's case, the negotiations did not progress enough, leaving Simeone unable to count on a player of his caliber.
