Simeone's priority for the summer transfer market

Diego Pablo Simeone already has clear his main objective to strengthen the midfield of Atlético de Madrid: Enzo Fernández. The Argentine coach believes that the midfielder from Chelsea could be the key piece to bring balance, creativity, and leadership to his team next season. With the summer transfer market on the horizon, the red and whites are preparing their strategy to try to close the deal.

The 24-year-old footballer has demonstrated his quality in the Premier League after a period of adaptation at Stamford Bridge. Although Chelsea has not achieved stability in their project, Fernández has been one of the standout players in midfield. His ability to distribute play and his tactical intelligence align with what 'Cholo' is looking for in his scheme. Moreover, the opportunity to play in LaLiga and under the guidance of a coach like Simeone could be appealing to the World Cup champion with Argentina.

Simeone Wants Enzo Fernández

The big obstacle for Atlético will be the transfer fee. Chelsea invested a huge amount in his signing and has no intention of letting go of one of their key players for a low amount. The Atlético board will need to explore financial options to compete in the negotiation, either through installment payments or by including players in the deal.

Atlético's interest in Enzo Fernández stems from the need to strengthen their squad with top talent to continue competing for titles. The presence of other Argentine players in the team could be a favorable factor to persuade the midfielder to swap London for Madrid. However, the operation won't be easy and will depend on Chelsea's willingness to negotiate his departure.
