He's worth 15 million and Barça wants him, Diego Simeone is going to ruin the plan

Last season, Atlético de Madrid went through a big problem when on February 25 they visited Real Madrid and Federico Valverde ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in Reinildo Mandava's left knee, so the Mozambican had to leave. the field of play on a stretcher and Josema Giménez entered to replace him and changed the coach's scheme.

They went from a 4-4-2 to a 5-3-2, where Yannick Carrasco replaced Reinildo, which suited the team very well, achieving great results, accumulating 13 consecutive games without defeat. Despite the good results, Cholo Simeone wanted another player for the position and implement the Belgian in a more offensive phase, without making so much defensive sacrifice.

With this priority came the summer transfer market, where the team looked for a natural left back to replace Reinildo while he advances his return to the squad, so the club obtained the signing of Javi Galán for a total of 5 million euros, arriving from Celta de Vigo, where he was one of the great figures and starters of the squad.

On the right wing are Nahuel Molina and the newcomer César Azpilicueta, but the team needs a player for when the Argentine cannot be physically fit. This was evident when the world champion could not play against Granada and Betis, so Marcos Llorente had to play in the position, but he did not do it very well.

Charging for him

Throughout the last transfer market, Atlético de Madrid tried to sign a teammate of Rodrigo Riquelme at Girona, Arnau Martínez. Todofichajes.com reports that the Colchonero team would be interested in resuming the signing of the Spanish player, since Cholo needs someone who is versatile and can also play as a central defender. Arnau has a market price of 15 million euros.
