Marca: Atletico Madrid aims to introduce Tottenham center back C-Romero and find a replacement for Correa

8:28pm, 4 July 2025Football

According to the Spanish media "Marca", after finalizing the three new players, Cardoso, Rugeri and Baenna, Atletico Madrid's fourth goal is to introduce Tottenham center back Christian Romero.

Romero is Atletico Madrid's favorite central defender, aiming to improve the strength of the defense line. He is a player Simeone explicitly requested to introduce, hoping to enhance the team's defensive level.

In addition to filling other possible vacancies, a key signing is still needed to complete the construction of the lineup next season. This involves a replacement for Angel Correa, who has decided to leave the team to join the Mexican Tigers, which will leave a vacancy to fill.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid's goal is to introduce a striker to play the role of the fourth striker. With Griezmann, Alvarez and Sollot, the team needs another striker with goal-scoring ability. This player needs to be able to take on a secondary but important role, and for Simeone, he has always emphasized that "the importance of playing time quality exceeds the quality of the player itself."

Therefore, while Atletico Madrid searches for the market, it is not clear what type of striker will be introduced. Is it a mess-up like Correa who is good at dribbling and creating chaos, or a penalty-endurance like Sollot.

In any case, considering that Correa's replacement will be a player who will not start, it is unlikely that Atletico Madrid will invest heavily in it. To a large extent, the market direction will guide the direction of Atletico Madrid sports management department.
