The Argentine coach of Atlético de Madrid is aware that the weak point is in the rear
Simeone it is very clear what signing need the Atletico Madrid to give that competitive leap that is needed. With a spectacular attack and very competent midfielders, the hole is still behind. Being feared again in Europe involves restoring security to the goal of oblak. And not in signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
And that it has been speculated that Diego Simeon looking for a guaranteed striker to replace the departure of Suarez. This is one of the reasons why the Portugal captain ended up on Berta’s list. Of course, this operation has cooled down quite a bit. The fans of the mattress club do not want CR7.
Cristiano is history
In any case, Atlético de Madrid is preparing a bombshell in the market and it is not Cristiano Ronaldo. And it is that the sports management is already working on an operation that has to do clearly with defense. That is where there are some headaches for the coach and it has become a priority to add a piece there.
In that order of ideas, the player that the Wanda Metropolitano are looking for to strengthen their defense is Nikola Milenkovic. The 24-year-old Serbian defender has added a course at the highest level in Fiorentina and has once again entered the orbit of the mattresses. He makes some markets wanting the right-handed defender and now they would have a great chance.
Simeone wants a groundbreaking signing behind
Although adding Cristiano Ronaldo would be a media coup for Atlético de Madrid, the reality is that they must attack other areas of the pitch, such as defense. The Balkan’s contract with the Italians runs until 2023 and he has stated that he does not want to renew it, which is why the conditions would be given for his arrival in the Spanish capital.
It will not be an easy operation, since despite the fact that he does not want to continue at Fiorentina, Milenkovic has a great poster. There are teams like Tottenham, Inter, Juventus and West Ham willing to offer a good amount for the Serbian defender. The only problem that Atlético has is the high salary that the new crack of defense earns in Europe.
