In the mattress club they continue to contemplate movements in the event of Cholo’s non-continuity
The Athletic Madrid could be attentive to some changes and one of them would have to see directly on the bench where he could arrive Luis Enrique. It is a possibility that has begun to gain strength since the end of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 where the departure of the coach of the National Team was related to his arrival at the Metropolitan.
Let’s remember that Luis Enrique He is one of the great candidates to reach the Athletic from Madrid. It is the first alternative that they have in the rojiblanca leadership in the event that Simeone’s departure is inevitable. The Argentine’s relationship with the club’s high command is not the best and it could all end soon.
Luis Enrique is clear about the players he will request from Atlético for his project
In this way, details are already beginning to be known about the team that the former national coach would ask for. There are clear positions that he needs to reinforce with the mattresses and he has already made it known. His project is based on key locations, several of which today give Cholo headaches.
In that order of ideas, Luis Enrique’s 6 priorities to reach Atlético are the following. A new goalkeeper, since he knows that Oblak has several proposals and could go out in the next market. A right back and a left back, especially in the first case, where they have not found a name that could be decisive.
The Spanish coach needs top-level footballers in all demarcations
For the midfield he would also be requesting the arrival of a new element, something that Simeone also requested at the time. Finally, he wants to have two new faces in offense, one for the winger with an unbalanced player and a top-level center forward who offers guarantees.
We will have to wait for what can happen with this movement. At the moment, these are the requests that Luis Enrique has made to the leadership, who is already contemplating a fairly ambitious project with top players. At the same time, the leadership knows that they need good results to return to the scene in LaLiga Santander and in Europe.
