Atletico Madrid is preparing to reinforce its offensive midfield for the upcoming season, aiming to cover two potential key departures: Rodrigo de Paul, who could move to Serie A with interest from teams like Inter and Juventus, and Antoine Griezmann, who might head to MLS. With these imminent exits, the Madrid club is looking for alternatives to revitalize their attack, and three names are on the table: Alberto Moleiro, Alex Baena, and Facundo Buonanotte.

Atletico Madrid seeks an offensive midfielder

Alberto Moleiro, the young prospect from UD Las Palmas, has caught Atletico's eye thanks to his ability to create chances in the final third and his vision of the game. Aged just 21, Moleiro would fit perfectly into Diego Simeone's system, bringing the creativity the team will need if Griezmann departs at the end of the season. His threat-generation from midfield makes him an attractive option for the "colchoneros."

Another player on Atletico's radar is Alex Baena from Villarreal. With the potential departure of De Paul, Baena is seen as an ideal solution to refresh the midfield. Moreover, his ability to play as an attacking midfielder would allow him to fill the gap left by Griezmann, maintaining balance in the team's offensive line.

Lastly, Facundo Buonanotte, the talented 19-year-old Argentine midfielder, has had a stellar start to the season at Leicester City, where he is on loan from Brighton. With three goals and two assists so far, Buonanotte has proven to be a player with great potential. His price, around 30 million euros, would not be a hurdle for Atletico as they aim to secure their attacking future.
