Atlético de Madrid has made a firm decision regarding the summer transfer market: to incorporate a left-back with guarantees. After a season where both Javi Galán and Reinildo Mandava have fallen short of expectations, and with both likely to leave the club, the sports management has activated their radar to find a player capable of assuming that role effectively. Miguel Gutiérrez, Mathías Olivera, and Álvaro Carreras top the list of possible reinforcements.

Atlético's 3 options to strengthen the left-back position

-Miguel Gutiérrez: The option that generates the most consensus within the coaching staff is Miguel Gutiérrez, current player at Girona. Trained in Real Madrid's youth teams, he has shown maturity, offensive vision, and the ability to interpret the wing-back role. His release clause is around 35 million euros, but Girona would be willing to negotiate for a figure close to 20 million. However, the contractual link with Madrid —which holds 50% of his rights— complicates the operation, especially due to the interest of the white club in controlling any movement.

-Mathias Olivera: Another alternative considered by the colchonero club is Mathías Olivera. The Uruguayan international, currently at Napoli, has experience in LaLiga and is valued for his solidity and consistency. His cost would be high, but his profile fits Simeone's scheme.

-Álvaro Carreras: The third name is Álvaro Carreras, a left-back from Benfica. He is the favorite for his potential and tactical adaptability, but also the most challenging, as Real Madrid has him on their agenda as a possible reinforcement. Despite the obstacles, Atlético is determined to make a key addition to rebuild their defense on the left side. The priority is clear, now it's about making the right choice.
