Is Atletico Madrid experiencing the best transfer window in years ? For many years, two big clubs have been fighting for the Laliga title. Fc Barcelona, which has been struggling with financial problems and Real Madrid, for whom the best players in the world have been playing for a long time !
The dominance of the two Spanish giants could be disrupted by a third Spanish giant, Atletico Madrid. Los Colchoneros have taken this transfer window seriously!
Offensive rejuvenation
Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth are signs of Atletico’s rejuvenation of their offensive players. For years, Simeone has benefited from the experience of older players such as Álvaro Morata, Antoine Griezmann.
It was the departure of Álvaro Morata that made room for the arrival of a new striker. Morata, who has played 154 games for Los Colchoneros, has become the new signing for the Italian team AC Milan.
Alexander Sørloth replaces Morata
Last year’s top scorer in LaLiga, Villarreal’s Alexander Sørloth, is expected to take his place in the centre of Atletico Madrid’s attack. The Norwegian cannonier arrives in Madrid with a price tag of €31,000,000. Last season was a breakthrough season for the 28-year-old spike striker as he managed to score an incredible 26 goals. With his height, Diego Simeone’s offensive could take on a completely different dimension.
New Kun Agüero
Manchester City management have decided to sell their second striker, Julian Alvarez, who is headed to England from Argentina’s River Plate.
Under Pep Guardiola, he played a total of 103 games and scored 36 goals. In the time he has been on the islands he has managed to win perhaps everything in terms of trophies.
The situation surrounding the Argentine striker has been closely followed by the Atletico Madrid management. Which has decided to take serious steps to acquire him. After long negotiations, the management of the English champion agreed to sell Alvarez for € 75 million.
Strengthening the defensive
If you say defensive football the first thing that comes to mind is Diego Simeone. A coach who professes and prides himself on a great defensive strategy.
Le Normand, the young Spanish centre-back comes to reinforce the already great Madrid defence. The experienced 27 year old stopper with Laliga experience will bring a quality midfield to the Argentine coach’s team. He was one of the few defenders in the Laliga to have an 88% passing accuracy last season.
