Two rising starlets on Atletico Madrid agenda for summer: Midfielder priced at €35-40m

Atletico Madrid look set for another busy transfer window in the summer, as they overhaul Diego Simeone’s squad. The last two years have seen 16 players arrive at the Metropolitano, but Sporting Director Mateu Alemany is approaching his first summer transfer window, and could look to make a splash.

Alemany has already spent over €60m on Ademola Lookman, Rodrigo Mendoza and Obed Vargas, albeit those costs were offset by the exits of Conor Gallagher and Giacomo Raspadori. Already there has been talk that Atletico will pursue Lookman’s former Atalanta teammate Ederson dos Santos in the coming months too.

With uncertainty over the future of Nahuel Molina this summer, Matteo Moretto has told RadioMarca that Atletico are looking at Agustin Giay of Palmeiras as a potential option. Atletico were interested in Giay while he was at San Lorenzo in his native Argentina, but he ended up moving to Palmeiras in 2024 for €7m. Los Colchoneros are looking at him as a potential young recruit who could improve their squad depth.
