Atlético de Madrid is clear that they need to strengthen their midfield with a creative player who provides solutions in attack. For the summer transfer window, the sports management has prepared a list of three candidates who fit the profile sought by Diego Simeone: Alberto Moleiro, Álex Baena, and Thiago Almada. Each of them represents a viable option, although with different characteristics and costs.

-Alberto Moleiro: Moleiro, only 21 years old, has established himself as one of the biggest promises in Spanish football. His performance at Las Palmas, where he has scored four goals in LaLiga, has attracted the interest of several teams. Although his contract expires in 2026, his youth and potential for improvement make him an interesting option for the red and white team.

-Álex Baena: In Baena's case, Villarreal will not ease his departure, as his buyout clause amounts to 60 million euros. At 23 years old, the midfielder has proven to be a disruptive player, with the ability to score and assist. His versatility in attack makes him an appealing piece for Simeone, but his high price could be a hurdle.

-Thiago Almada: On the other hand, Almada is an option that has always been on Atlético's agenda. The Argentine attacking midfielder, currently on loan at Lyon, is a profile that 'Cholo' values ​​especially, as he could be the natural replacement for Antoine Griezmann in the team. His future will depend on how his contractual situation with Botafogo is resolved.

Atlético will have to decide which of these options best suits their needs and economic possibilities, with the intention of adding a player to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season.
