Atletico Madrid is clear that strengthening the right-back position will be one of its priorities for the upcoming season. With Nahuel Molina as the undisputed starter but lacking a natural replacement in the squad, the red and white club is looking for an alternative that will give Diego Simeone greater tactical flexibility and, at the same time, free up Marcos Llorente to play in midfield. In this context, the sports management has identified three options within LaLiga: Jon Aramburu, Jesus Areso, and Andrei Ratiu.
Atletico seeks a right-back
- Jon Aramburu: Aramburu, 22 years old, is one of the young promises of Real Sociedad. Although his contract runs until 2030 and his release clause is 60 million euros, his progress has caught the attention of several clubs. His ability to play both as a right-back and in more advanced positions makes him an interesting option for Atletico.
- Jesus Areso: On the other hand, Areso, 25 years old, has shown solidity at Osasuna, where he has managed to establish himself as a key piece in Jagoba Arrasate's scheme. His contract with the Navarrese team ends in 2026, and his name has also been linked with Athletic Club, which could complicate his departure.
- Andrei Ratiu: The third alternative is Ratiu, 26 years old, who has been a regular player at Rayo Vallecano. His contract runs until 2028, and his price is around 20 million euros. His offensive projection and experience in LaLiga make him a viable option for Atletico if they are looking for a profile that can offer attacking depth.
The Colchonero club will analyze which of these options best fits its needs and financial conditions before making a definitive decision in the transfer market.
