Atlético de Madrid and their bet for the 2024/25 season
Atlético de Madrid are implementing their squad renewal plan with the aim of strengthening the squad for next season. Coach Diego Simeone is working on restructuring the team and has identified several players who will not be part of his project. The club’s sports management is focused on the sale of players like Saúl, Lemar and Memphis to be able to incorporate new talents that can fit into the game system of the Argentine coach.
Atlético de Madrid’s interest in Julián Álvarez
In this sense, Atlético de Madrid have focused their attention on a player who is also a target of FC Barcelona: Julián Álvarez. The club leaders see the young Argentine player as a great addition to form an offensive trident alongside Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. However, no progress has yet been made in the negotiations with any of the two interested clubs. It seems that Atlético de Madrid are making more efforts to convince the Manchester City player.
The financial difficulties of Atlético de Madrid
However, the financial difficulties faced by Atlético de Madrid make the operation complex. Both the player and Manchester City have high financial demands. Atlético de Madrid has shown in previous operations that it is not in a position to make large payments. Julián Álvarez’s market value is 90 million euros, but his contract includes a 50 million release clause.
Atlético de Madrid’s strategy to convince Julián Álvarez
Faced with economic difficulties, Atlético de Madrid has come up with a strategy to convince Julián Álvarez. The team offers him the possibility of being a star and a reference in Diego Simeone’s system of play. In addition, the presence of other Argentine players in the team, such as De Paul, Nahuel, Molina and Correa, could be a key factor in convincing the player to choose the white-and-red club as the best option to continue the his career
