There are five days left until the transfer market closes and movements in the Atlético Madrid They only went in one direction, the exit. Up to four players (Javi Galán, Carlos Martín, Gallagher and Raspadori) They greeted the red-black club in recent weeks and no one showed up.
A situation that not everyone likes Diego Simeone, who had the last two football players, especially the English one, and who sees that he lost pieces without having replacements for them. Atlético remains alive in three competitions, the League, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, and the Argentine coach understands that the squad is too short to face the rest of the season with guarantees.

And then he added: “I have nothing to comment here, we talk to Mateu every day. “It’s very clear which players we need.”
These statements came just hours after the director of professional football spoke about the market in Movistar: “I’m not going to talk about specific positions or names, because I shouldn’t, because it would be harmful to our own positioning. What I say is that we are fully aligned, the coach, the coaching staff and the clubwhat we need, what we would like,” said Alemany.
“What I say, with absolute conviction, is that some specifications are bad, others are good, but we have a great team, anyway. If we bring something, let it be because it is something special, something different, something of a level. If not, we look there, we look at the youth teams, because the squad has enough quality to compete like it has been doing.” continued the Spaniard, who ended by highlighting that “they have insisted on four casualties, but the reality is that, in terms of numbers, it is practically one.
A difference of opinion, at least from the outside, that all the Colchoneros fans, who await the arrival of the players, have noticed.
