The young Dutch midfielder Mats Wieffer is on everyone's lips in the world of football. According to the latest information, both Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona are teams that are targeting this talented 24-year-old player, who is currently defending the colors of Feyenoord, the current 2022/23 Eredivisie champions.
Wieffer, who joined Feyenoord from Excelsior in 2022, has enjoyed a meteoric rise in his career. As a graduate of FC Twente's youth system, he had to wait until his arrival at De Kuip for his chance to stand out. And he wasted no time in doing so, quickly becoming a key player for Feyenoord.
In the 2022/23 season, Mats Wieffer shone as a midfielder and demonstrated his versatility and ability to make precise and creative passes. In 60 games for Feyenoord so far, he has contributed six goals and nine assists, demonstrating his influence on his team's game.
The Culés see him as the perfect midfielder
As the newspaper Sport reports, Barcelona, which signed Oriol Romeu last summer, has shown understandable interest in Wieffer and is considering him as a possible successor to Sergio Busquets. However, Atlético de Madrid are not far behind and have entered the race for this talented defensive midfielder.
The transfer window is nearing its end and time is of the essence for the Catalan giants. For its part, Atlético de Madrid presents itself as a solid alternative and is ready to compete for Wieffer's services. Both teams need to strengthen their midfield and the Dutchman is proving to be an ideal candidate for both squads.
