Atlético de Madrid will face the winter transfer market with the obligation to incorporate an organizing midfielder and a central defender if they truly aim to compete for the most important titles. The upcoming Atlético transfer market will be crucial for improvement.

The squad led by Cholo Simeone has shown deficiencies in ball circulation and defensive rotation, aspects that hinder their aspirations in the 2026-2027 season.

Martín Zubimendi, the piece that would bring quality alongside Pablo Barrios

In the midfield, the need to add a player capable of surpassing the performance shown by Johnny Cardoso and Morten Hjulmand is evident. The arrival of Martín Zubimendi, 27 years old, would be an ideal solution as he has lost his undisputed starting position at Arsenal, offering a top-notch organizing profile to take on the first pass and partner with academy product Pablo Barrios in Atlético de Madrid's double pivot.

In my opinion, adding the Basque player would enhance the team's creativity, an area where the squad falters in tight matches.

Lisandro Martínez to complete Simeone's defense with Cuti Romero

On the other hand, the defense of Cholo Simeone urgently requires a top-class left-footed center-back to relieve other players from emergency responsibilities. The addition of Lisandro Martínez, 28 years old, whose situation at Manchester United is tense and whose contract expires in 2027, would fit perfectly to form a pair of absolute guarantees with Cristian "Cuti Romero," replicating the solidity they both display in the Argentine National Team.

This operation would also allow Marc Pubill to be consolidated as an option on the right flank and Dávid Hancko to act naturally as the left-back. The month of December 2026 will be crucial to see if the board embraces this diagnosis and initiates contact for both players.

If Atlético de Madrid does not make this effort in the winter transfer market, the team will once again fall a step behind the main title contenders.
