Atlético de Madrid are determined to strengthen their defensive line for next season after conceding more goals in a season than usual in the Diego Simeone era. According to SER Deportivos, the red and white team has three specific central defenders in their sights: Leny Yoro, Murillo and Facundo Medina from Lille, Nottingham Forest and Lens.
Amid the potential departure of Mario Hermoso, Atlético de Madrid have turned their attention to Murillo from Nottingham Forest and have now added two new targets in the French market. Meanwhile, the Colchonero team continues its fight in the Champions League against Inter Milan and fights domestically to stay in the qualification places.
Leny Yoro, Murillo and Facundo Medina in Atlético’s sights
The lack of defensive stability has sparked a search for reinforcements, evidenced by the active monitoring of two centre-backs in France. Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old talent from Lille, is one of the targets, although he is also in Real Madrid’s orbit. On the other hand, Facundo Medina, a 24-year-old Argentine from Lens, is also on the list of possible inclusions.
As Atlético de Madrid aims to achieve its current goals in both domestic and international competitions, planning for next season is already underway. Stefan Savic’s extension is a fact, but Mario Hermoso’s situation is becoming more and more complicated, which is driving the search for alternatives in the transfer market.
