La Liga
Atlético de Madrid has set its priority on reinforcing the left-back position in the upcoming summer transfer market, given the need for greater defensive solidity in that area. Diego Pablo Simeone has not been satisfied with Javi Galán's performance in key matches of the season and is already considering three names as possible reinforcements: Marc Cucurella, Maxime De Cuyper, and Milos Kerkez.
Atlético de Madrid seeks a new left-back: 3 options on the radar
- Marc Cucurella: Cucurella, currently at Chelsea, is one of the more experienced options. At 26 years old, the Spanish player has established himself in the Premier League, contributing in both defense and attack. This season, he has played 30 matches, scoring four goals and providing three assists, impressive figures for a full-back. However, his contract with the London club runs until 2028, which could make his departure challenging.
- Maxime De Cuyper: Another alternative on the list is De Cuyper, a Belgian player from Club Brugge. At 24 years old, he has shown versatility and offensive capability, as evidenced by his two goals and six assists in 40 matches played. His contract also ends in 2028, but his situation in the Belgian league could make negotiations more affordable for Atlético.
- Milos Kerkez: Finally, Kerkez from Bournemouth represents a future investment at 21 years old. The Hungarian has impressed in the Premier League, combining defensive solidity with contributions in the opponent's area. He has taken part in 30 matches this season, scoring two goals and providing four assists. His youth and potential make him an attractive option for the team.
Atlético will need to assess which of these profiles best fits Simeone's requirements in a market where competition for quality full-backs will be fierce.
