The Atlético de Madrid is already making moves in the offices in anticipation of the upcoming transfer market, and one of the priorities set by the technical staff is to urgently strengthen the defensive line. After a season in which doubts at the back have been more frequent than desired, the sports management has begun to explore options and has focused its attention on two footballers playing in Europe but sharing South American origin and competitive profile.

-Cuti Romero

The first on the wish list is Cristian Romero. The Argentine center-back from Tottenham is a player highly appreciated by Cholo Simeone, not only for his ability to lead a defense but also for his aggressiveness, tactical intelligence, and decisive one-on-one play. The Atleti coach believes that the former Atalanta player would fit perfectly into the Atlético's scheme, although his signing won't be easy due to the London club's firm stance of not wanting to let go of one of its key players.

-Jhon Lucumí

Another name that has gained strength in recent hours is Jhon Lucumí. The Colombian defender from Bologna has shown steady growth in Serie A and has also earned the trust of his national team. His solidity and reliability have made him an undisputed piece in the Italian team, but his contractual situation could facilitate a possible departure at a price lower than his current performance would dictate. The option is appealing in Madrid, where they value his international experience and room for improvement.

Atlético is carefully monitoring both operations, knowing that immediate solutions are needed in the rearguard. While one of the moves would be more expensive, the other could be closed on more accessible terms, leaving the door open for a double signing that would significantly strengthen the Rojiblanco defense.
