Juan Musso has achieved something that very few goalkeepers have accomplished in recent years: making Diego Simeone doubt his unwavering loyalty to Jan Oblak. The Argentine, who arrived on loan from Atalanta last summer, has responded solidly every time he has had the opportunity to defend Atlético's goal. In both the Copa del Rey and the sole league match he played (at San Mamés, keeping a clean sheet), Musso has shown confidence and presence.

At a club where no substitute had managed to overshadow Oblak, neither Grbic nor Moldovan nor others who tried, the goalkeeper from San Nicolás has broken the mold. However, his continuity beyond the Club World Cup is uncertain, as reported by the newspaper AS. Atlético would be willing to keep him, but with one very clear condition: only if he arrives for free.

They will not pay for him

The initial agreement with Atalanta included a purchase option close to seven million euros, a sum that the red and white club is not willing to pay. Consequently, other alternatives are already being considered in the free agent market to strengthen the goalkeeping position, always as a replacement for the undisputed Oblak, who, with a contract until 2028, remains a key piece in 'Cholo's' plans.

Musso, on his part, has fit in perfectly in the locker room, forming a close relationship with his fellow countrymen and the coaching staff. But his future at the Metropolitano will depend solely on whether he can arrive at no cost.
